Hiking
In almost every town and village, hikers and walkers encounter such a monument. Often referred to as a "war memorial," the term "memorial to the fallen" has recently become more common in German-speaking regions, shifting the focus away from the heroic aspects of war and towards the misery and suffering of the victims. The people to whom these monuments are dedicated attempted to defend their homeland against war and tyranny—and ultimately paid for this sacrifice with their lives.
