Feierabendrunde Würselen-Scherberg
On this tour, we dive into the countryside, starting right at the edge of the village. A donkey and horses look after us as we follow the meadow path over the heights. Further ahead, a tractor is making hay. One last look back at the silhouette of the village from which St. Sebastian emerges and we are already walking through an unspoiled, wild forest. With each section down into the valley, we gain peace and quiet, the traffic falls silent and is replaced by the babbling of the Wurm. At the bottom, we come to Wolfsfurth, a former mill that was already mentioned in 1200. From 1813 it was a cloth factory, one of the first to have water-powered looms. The water of the stream flashes through the foliage of the hillside forests, and the mountains into which the Wurm has carved itself over millions of years become visible at an old quarry. In the open floodplain, which is a nature reserve, it is allowed to develop freely. In summer, butterflies accompany our path, and it is not unlikely that we will also encounter geese and herons. To the right of the path, brown Limousin cattle enjoy the extensive pasture. Back in the settlement on the heights, old farm buildings on Kreuzplatz remind us that agriculture has always been linked to the history of the village
