Hiking

Today, the branches of a large old oak tree protectively over the grave of Böll and his wife Annemarie. The two gray basalt stones with the name engravings look simple; The cross with the colorful figures - earth, sun, moon and stars - comes along playful and a bit exotic. - Source: ksta.de/12289920 © 2017

Hiking

The well-known author Heinrich Böll used to live here. Heinrich Böll is no longer alive. The Heinrich Böll Weg, which runs through Merten, is recommended for hikers.
