Durchs Wurmtal und Broichbachtal rund um Würselen

The tour starts from Würselen Mitte and passes through the popular recreational areas of the Wurm and Broichbach valleys, as well as to Merzbrück airport. The Wurm valley offers a unique experience of nature and landscape with its meandering river, green meadows, deciduous forests, individual farms, mills and the car-free route. The Broichbach valley also features a similarly varied and appealing landscape. Additionally, it is characterized by ponds and various recreational facilities. The coal heaps in Alsdorf near the Broicher Bach are witnesses to the not-so-long-ago era of hard coal mining in the northern part of the CitiesRegion. A worthwhile destination, especially for children, is the free zoo in Alsdorf with its spacious play areas and various animal species. From the Broichbach valley, the route leads into the wide, rather flat agricultural landscape. A completely different experience is offered by the Merzbrück airfield, with gliders and powered aircraft flying low over the country roads. The route also passes through smaller villages and districts such as Niederbardenberg, Wefelen, Euchen, Linden-Neusen. It provides a varied image between settlement and landscape.
