You can often use both to be honest. When you want to express (五感で)感じる or 気付く both are appropriate. "merken" can also mean 覚える ("sich merken"), "bemerken" can also mean (言葉で)付け足す.
It' pretty hard to point out the difference when used as 気付く. For me, "bemerken" feels more connected to 視覚 while "merken" seems to me like the litteral translation of 気付く
In the end though, both are appropriate translations for "realize"
