December 16, 2025, Schutzhütte im Wurmtal bei Herzogenrath

The Wurm Valley refuge near Herzogenrath is a small but meaningful sanctuary nestled in the tranquil landscape of the Wurm. Situated on a walking and cycling path along the meandering river, the refuge offers shelter from rain and wind, but above all, a place to pause and take in the surrounding valley. Surrounded by lush greenery, with the Wurm gently flowing through the valley, this place offers a moment of solitude and contemplation in everyday life or during a longer hike through nature.

The birdwatching hut on the Brunssummerheide is a sheltered observation area in the heart of the nature reserve, specially designed to observe birds and other animals in their natural habitat without disturbing them. From the hut, you have views of heathlands, fens, and forest edges, making it an excellent spot for birdwatchers, photographers, and nature lovers. Due to the recent fire in parts of the heathland, the hut now also offers views of recovering and partially charred areas, creating a unique, sometimes dramatic, sight. The combination of tranquility, nature, and the opportunity to observe hidden life makes the birdwatching hut an atmospheric and educational destination in the Brunssummerheide.

In a competition in 2018, the citizens of the western tip region were asked to submit their personal lucky places, including a small reason why this place is so special. These insider tips could be of a scenic, spiritual, child-friendly or cultural nature. A jury then selected 40 lucky places from the submissions (10 per western tip municipality), which were presented on the day of luck on March 20, 2019. Since then, the places have been marked with information boards and a flyer with a map of the lucky places (including the nodes in the district of Heinsberg) is available free of charge at various contact points in the western tip region. Project duration: 2018 - 2019 Total costs: €29,709.81 VITAL.NRW funds: €18,464.07 Note: all lucky places are equipped with seating https://westzipfel-interaktiv.de/projekte/gluecksorte/ Under SLIPPING HEIGHT: Anyone who perceives the Selfkantdom, the church of St. Gangolf on the Burgberg in Heinsberg, as high, is surprised that they are practically looking down on it from the Glücksplatz. The village beautification association Schleiden-Schafhausen has set up this shelter on the Schleidenerhöhe so that you can rest in peace and enjoy the beautiful view, even if you are no longer so good on foot. As far as Schafhausen, such huts are to be built at a distance of 500m from each other, an incentive even for inexperienced hikers or families with small children to set out on the (hiking) trail.
