rise / hill
A natural, not very high elevation in the terrain, like a small hill. From a rise, you often have a good view.
Von der Anhöhe aus hatten wir einen wunderschönen Blick über das ganze Tal.
From the rise, we had a beautiful view over the whole valley.
The word consists of the prefix 'an-' and the noun 'Höhe' (height/elevation). It describes an elevation that rises up from the landscape.
Auf der kleinen Anhöhe stand eine alte Eiche.
An old oak tree stood on the small rise.
With 'Anhöhe' (rise/hill), the preposition 'auf' is used. To express movement, you use the accusative ('auf die Anhöhe' — onto the rise); for a position, the dative ('auf der Anhöhe' — on the rise).
Wir stiegen auf die Anhöhe, um den Sonnenuntergang zu sehen.
We climbed onto the rise to see the sunset.
Common verbs used with 'Anhöhe' (rise/hill) are 'steigen' (to climb), 'stehen' (to stand), or 'blicken' (to look/gaze). It is often described as a 'kleine' (small) or 'sanfte' (gentle) rise.
Von der sanften Anhöhe konnte man das Dorf überblicken.
From the gentle rise, you could look out over the village.
height / amount
'die Höhe' and 'die Anhöhe' can both refer to an elevated place in the landscape. 'die Anhöhe' is more precise: it usually means a small hill or a slight rise. 'die Höhe' is more general and can also simply mean a higher point or place. Learners may confuse the words because both describe something above the normal terrain. If you mean a small hill in nature, 'Anhöhe' is more precise. If you are speaking more generally about an elevated place, 'Höhe' fits better.
Auf der Anhöhe machten die Wanderer eine kurze Pause.
The hikers took a short break on the rise.
Von der Höhe aus sahen wir das ganze Dorf.
From the height, we could see the whole village.
