Hiking
The German military cemetery of Noyers-Pont-Maugis is the final resting place of 26,843 soldiers who died during the First and Second World Wars. You can stroll among the rows of crosses and pay your respects to fallen soldiers, while admiring views of the surrounding countryside. The cemetery has a chapel and a memorial hall, where you can learn about the history of the wars and the people buried here. This is a hiking tip that will not only allow you to exercise, but also to take a step back from the past.
