Gulpen - Om niet te vergeten – Herdenkingswandeling 2

Gulpen - Om niet te vergeten – Herdenkingswandeling 2

The Municipality of Gulpen-Wittem was the stage for many special, heroic and tragic war events during the Second World War.

The fallen are commemorated in important locations in the area and the various monuments and plaques provide an opportunity to reflect on everything that happened here.

Two walks of 10 and 12 kilometers both start in Wittem. This walk leads you from Wittem through the Wachelerbos, Mechelen, Wahlwiller and Party. During the walk you will pass 7 memorial monuments.

At each monument, the story about the monument and the event can be heard by means of an audio fragment. The audio stories can be heard on this page. Both the seasoned history buff and the curious visitor will be amazed by the history hidden in the villages and forests of Gulpen-Wittem.

The route is not separately signposted, but a special brochure with the route is available via the webshop and the tourist information points in the area. The route starts in Wittemer Allee, where you can also park.
