Very impressive (all the time)
Although closed due to COVID19, you can walk by from a backroad called the Hoogsteeg. As we were staying in a cottage just around the corner, I walked by during a short walk in the neighbourhood. It still is very impressive to see, every time I see it. We must never forget the sacrifice these men gave for our freedom. Something I still don’t understand, is why there is a gate on the Rijksweg while there is a hedge just over half a metre high on the backroad. It would never come into my mind to jump the fence, nor am I suggesting people should do! But from a security perspective I just don’t get it.

Very impressive
We stayed in Margraten for a couple of days, but unfortunately the cemetery was closed due to COVID19 until further notice. Luckily, there’s a dirt road that takes enables you drive by and see the cemetery from the back. Driving by and seeing all the white crosses was very impressive. Would like to visit again when the cemetery is open.
