Durchs Wurmtal und Broichbachtal rund um Würselen

The tour leads from Würselen Mitte through the popular recreational areas of the Wurm and Broichbach valleys and to Merzbrück airport. With its meandering river, green meadows, deciduous forests, individual farmsteads, mills and car-free route, the Wurmtal offers a unique experience of nature and landscape. The Broichbach valley also has a similarly varied and attractive landscape. It is also characterized by ponds and several recreational facilities. The coal tips in Alsdorf near the Broicher Bach stream are witnesses to the era of coal mining in the northern part of the StädteRegion, which ended not so long ago. A worthwhile destination, especially for children, is the free animal park in Alsdorf with its spacious play facilities and various animal species. From the Broichbach valley, the route leads into the wide, rather flat agricultural landscape. The Merzbrück airfield offers a completely different experience with gliders and motor planes flying low over the field path. The route also passes through smaller villages and districts such as Niederbardenberg, Wefelen, Euchen and Linden-Neusen. It offers a varied picture between settlement and countryside.

Highlights along the route:

  • Broichbach valley
  • Wurm Valley
  • Alsdorf zoo
  • Wilhelmstein Castle
  • Merzbrück airfield

indeland-Radroute 7: Sophienhöhe

Experience new things in a varied landscape The RurUferRadweg, the Wasserburgenroute and the Grünroute lead through the indeland. These long supra-regional main cycle routes cannot be completed in one day. The indeland cycle routes consolidate the tourist cycle route network in indeland and are designed as day or half-day tours. Experience the unmistakable scenic attractions and contrasts in the northern part of the district of Düren on the routes. The routes take you through the agricultural landscape to the sights of our region. Take your time and discover the Welzer Alps, the Indemann and the open-cast lignite mine, Laufenburg or Lake Barmen. Even if you are familiar with the region, you will "experience" many new things at a relaxed cycling pace. The routes, ranging in length from 10 km to 20 km, run along existing cycle paths and farm tracks, residential roads and low-traffic side roads. The routes run on flat to slightly hilly terrain and are therefore also suitable for children and less trained cyclists.
