Hiking
An observation tower from which, apart from the cemetery, you can see the battlefield (now overgrown with trees) of Verdun.

The Ossuary tower, also known as the 'Lantern of Death', is 46 m high and offers a beautiful view of the battlefield.
The bell tower was donated by the Americans and is, together with the chapel, one of the oldest parts of the monument.
Halfway up the climb, you can see the equipment and some scenes highlighting the soldiers of each camp behind glass.
At the top of the tower you can enjoy the view, signs indicate in which direction you are looking. Here you will also find the two symbols of the monument: the beacon and the bell.
