Rest area at the former Mützenich train station. The place name Mützenich may indicate a Roman settlement: Mutiniacum. Around 1783 the corpse of a Roman legionnaire in full armor was found under a stick dam in the Fens. The Roman helmet is part of the municipal coat of arms.

Very nice rest stop. Numerous information boards report on smuggling between Belgium and Germany. Coffee was three times more expensive in Germany than in Belgium. The smugglers tried to immobilize the police cars with sharp iron crow's feet and the police responded with the broom Porsche, which pushed the crow's feet off the road.
