Discover surprising nature

Kerkrade is surprisingly green. Cycle or walk through the rolling Anstel valley or explore the Worm valley, which we share with our German neighbours.

Rundum Merkstein route KR11 Kerkrade

From Kerkrade it is only a short step across the German border to the pleasant village of Merkstein. This village is the starting point of the idyllic Rundum Merkstein walking route. Just along the border you will get to know the ancient Baalsbrugger mill and the striking landmark of the moated castle in Rimburg. In the Grube Adolf Park you can walk through the birch forest and along the banks of the Uebach you can enjoy the serenity of the nature reserve around this stream.
