Cycling

Less known than the American Cemetery, this sacre place is part of a gravel path direction Sandwailer. During the Second World War, thousands of German soldiers lost their lives in the battles on the Luxembourgish borders. They find their last resting-place on the military cemetery near Sandweiler, especially installed for this purpose. It contains the graves of around 10.900 German servicemen.

A place that is meant to inspire peace. The German soldiers who fell here between November 1944 and February 1945 were boys, children, young people.
