Nice path, in Heimerzheim it is also nicely laid out, unfortunately not towards Weilerswist.

Heimerzheim lies roughly in the middle of the triangle between Bonn, Euskirchen and Brühl. The immediate neighboring villages are Dünstekoven to the south, Neukirchen, Müggenhausen and Straßfeld to the west and Metternich to the north. To the east follow the foothills of the mountains around 8 km away.The village is located on the western edge of the Ville on the northwestern edge of the Kottenforstes. The swist flows through the place in a largely artificially designed bed. West of the Swist there are very fertile soils of the Jülich-Zülpicher Börde, which are used intensively for agriculture. To the east, the landscape is mainly characterized by forest. The highest point is in the area of the Roman aqueduct in the Kottenforst, the lowest at Kriegshoven Castle.The swist jump is remarkable. It is a geological fault that runs along the slope through the site. The Swistsprung forms the border between two floes in the Lower Rhine Bay. Settlements take place along this fault, which are considerably accelerated by the lignite mining and the associated swamping measures in the Rhenish lignite district. The Swistsprung is the cause of numerous structural damage and non-buildable properties in Heimerzheim.
