Beautiful place of reflection, time to remember, commemoration but also reminders!

The oppressive World War I memorial is located in the middle of the forest and is always accessible. You can walk along the trenches and get a good impression of how the soldiers fought and lived there.

Better only visit in daylight. There is no artificial lighting.

Good display boards also in German.

Sturdy shoes required.

As a memorial to the many dead, this memorial cross and the trenches are still very important today as a sign of remembrance. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny.

Many places and monuments that you encounter along the way are a testament to the horror of war and tyranny - which is still significant and relevant today. They all have, and this is new for each generation, two essential functions:

-1- Commemorate and remember the victims

-2- Call for the preservation of peace
