20의 Meroder Wald가지 명소 & 주요 장소

At least today the water didn't look particularly good. While other lakes, ponds and rivers are clear, the Orchelsweiher is filled with brown water.

The Laufenburg was built in the 12th century by the Dukes of Limburg. Since the 17th century it has only existed as a ruin. In 1895 the battlements of the round corner towers were renewed. The current restaurant is closed on Mondays.

If you can write it like that, a nice, not so sterile, natural military cemetery.

The cemetery is on the Marienweg, which leads to the Schwarzenbroich monastery ruins, on the northern edge of the former Hürtgenwald combat zone. The name Marienbildchen is reminiscent of the Princess of Merode-Westerloo, who had an image of Mary attached to an oak tree, which has now been replaced by a wooden statue of Mary and is also the station of an annual procession. In this forest cemetery, a total of 226 fallen German soldiers rest under the protective canopy of the trees: 128 in individual graves and 98 in two collective graves; 170 are known by name. They fell in bitter fighting from November to mid-December 1944 between Merode and Wenau during the "Battle of the Hürtgen Forest". Many of the dead are 18-20 year old paratroopers."

As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such places - usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery", sometimes also "honorary cemetery" - are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the many people buried here were by no means divorced in peace, but became victims of the war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and – every generation anew (!) – to remind people to keep peace in the long term.

The Rennweg from Schevenhütte is really fun...nice climb with beautiful views

Idyllic small lake in the forest that invites you to take a break in the great outdoors.

noun est omen, good and fast surface to drive on. The traffic consists mainly of cyclists and joggers. A drop of bitterness is the descent to Schevenhütte or Gürzenich, the road conditions are terrible
