The water supply for the municipality of Merzenich was ensured in the 20th century by the water tower in the village.

The main building of Burgau Castle has an eventful past. Having been originally built at the start of the 14th century by the Counts von Heinsberg and assigned to the fiefdom of Wilhelm von Burgau, the picturesque moated castle has since had quite a makeover.

The trail leads through an area rich in game with many traces of hunters and the hunted. The north-eastern part of the national park borders our route. For thousands of years, people subsisted as hunters and gatherers. The introduction of livestock farming and agriculture not only changed habits, but also the original landscape. The result was a cultivated landscape dominated by humans, which increasingly limited the habitat of game. We follow the hiking trail sign 09.
