Hiking

The place Merzen is very old. Very close by lies a huge burial mound field, but there are also many passage graves in the surrounding area. It can therefore be assumed that Merzen was already settled in the Bronze Age. In any case, settlement of Marsunnon has been documented since the year 977. The place name means something like "wet damp lowland". The church is also very old, by the way, and parts of it date back to the year 1200.
