Like the surrounding villages, Merten belonged to the German Bellistum of the Duchy of Lorraine until 1751. When the provinces of the Ancien Régime were dissolved after the French Revolution, the region became part of the Moselle department. After Napoleon's defeat, Merten - like its neighboring town of Bisten - came to the Prussian district of Saarlouis.

In a border convention between Prussia and France, which was drawn up in Paris on June 11, 1827 and confirmed in Saarbrücken on October 23, 1829, there was a change of territory in which Merten became French again.

One of the few beautiful French spots on the route. :)
Unfortunately, the remaining stretches of forest on the French side were completely destroyed by lumberjacks, the ground was completely crushed by the tractors and there were pieces of wood everywhere, making the path almost impassable. Impossible without sturdy shoes.
