Wandelen langs oorlogssporen in Kerkrade

Wandelen langs oorlogssporen in Kerkrade

→ Let op!

At the moment, we are completing the transition from the coloured walking signposts to the new Knopen Lopen walking junction network. Online, you may still come across routes that refer to the coloured signposts. It is possible that these signposts are no longer present in the area. For the time being, we recommend navigating the route online or linking the walking junctions yourself.
In 2019 it was 75 years ago that Limburg was liberated from the German occupation during World War II. This war has also left its mark in Kerkrade. Traces that are still visible: the closely guarded border with Germany in the Nieuwstraat, places where bombers crashed and several war graves.

This route takes you past these places full of history and memory. You will learn more about Kerkrade during the Second World War and then perhaps see the city with different eyes. Please note, the route is not signposted, but the route description can be downloaded.
