You cycle under the S-shaped bridge...

Beautiful art made from natural materials.

Beautiful tower with accompanying views that are equally spectacular...

The various sculptures and art objects give a special appeal to a cycle path in this area. In addition, the information boards are very informative and often have to do with the life of butterflies.

Since 1953, the German War Graves Commission has looked after the cemetery. He maintains a large information center there and also a youth meeting place. About 25 to 30,000 people visit this cemetery every year. In May 1995 a ginkgo tree was planted as a sign of hope and remembrance of the war and the first use of nuclear weapons on August 6, 1945 over Hiroshima. A commemorative plaque reads in 3 languages: "As a sign of the hope of peace. Planted on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the end of the war”. In the center of the cemetery is a memorial column originally erected in the Brussels-Evere cemetery.

The cemetery was officially inaugurated on September 6, 1959. Before that, the soldiers who died in World War II had been buried by the American burial service in five collective cemeteries in the region. From 1946 the reburial of the fallen from the collective cemeteries to Lommel began. As a result, not only the former temporary collective cemeteries of Henri-Chapelle, Fosse, Overrepen and Neuville-en-Condroz were dissolved, but also the German military cemetery from World War I in Leopoldsburg with 542 dead. Of 13,000 unknown soldiers, 7,000 were subsequently identified. Over 30,000 people visit the cemetery every year.
