On this section along the stream of the Wurm you go on the Via Belgica, which was already used by the Romans.

Via Belgica is the name given in the twentieth century to a 400 kilometer long ancient Roman highway. The Via Belgica ran from Boulogne-sur-Mer via Arras, Bavay, Tongeren, Heerlen and Maastricht to Jülich and Cologne. The road was an important part of a large and complex network of roads and waterways that stretched to the furthest reaches of the Roman empire. In Northwestern Europe it played a leading role in local and interregional economic development, strategic military defense and the administration of the new provinces. At the junctions of the main roads and rivers, the Romans established guard posts or created small villages that grew into larger settlements such as Heerlen and Maastricht.
