The Gëlle Fra Memorial originated in 1923 from a citizens' initiative and initially served as a memorial to the Luxembourgish soldiers who fell in the First World War (1914-1918). Today, it also honors the Luxembourgish soldiers who fell in the Second World War (1939-1945), the Luxembourgers who died in the Korean War (1950-1953), and the Luxembourgers who volunteered in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Gëlle Fra herself led an emotionally charged and controversial life.

In US cemeteries, white gravestones symbolize purity, peace, and innocence. They follow the tradition of classic, light-colored marble or limestone designs, as used in the first US military cemeteries of World War I. The uniformly white stones convey order, dignity, and consistency across the large cemetery grounds. Marble or limestone is frequently used as the material.

The Luxembourg American Cemetery was established on December 29, 1944, during World War II, by the U.S. Graves Registry to bury those who fell in the Battle of the Bulge and other battles in the region. The cemetery covers approximately 20 hectares and contains the remains of 5,076 American soldiers, including one female medical orderly. The grounds feature 4,958 Latin crosses and 119 Stars of David, along with memorial plaques bearing the names of 371 missing soldiers and plaques for 22 pairs of brothers. The cemetery and chapel were dedicated on July 4, 1960.

Beautiful and modern bridge over the Moselle River. Border between Germany and Luxembourg.

Very cool bike tunnel. It's an old railway line, now paved and well-lit.

Beautiful! A must-do for every cyclist. Perfect for a racing bike. Slow down and take photos. There aren't many places like this in the Benelux!

Wonderful view over the old town
