War Cemeteries and Memorials in Belgium



There are so many war cemeteries on such a small piece of land, that visitors often stop their cars to find out that they are in front of the wrong cemetery again. We listed the precise coordinates of ALL cemeteries with 40 or more burials.

WW II Cemeteries

Our list also contains the only two American WW II Cemeteries and the only two German WW II Cemeteries in Belgium.

Better be prepared

The war cemeteries exist so long time now and in the mean time many roads have been modified. As a consequence many cemeteries are not situated adjacent to the road anymore and to reach them you often have to pass 20 to 200 meters (yards) over grass land. Needless to say that, especially in times of rain, this is better not done with your finest shoes. Cemeteries with a somewhat restricted access path are: 53,78,89,98,109,111,113,112,120,123,129,136,148,152,155,164,165,168, and 169

Some of the cemeteries are situated in the middle of a forest, where you have no access with a car. This means a walk of up to 1.5 km (1 mile) on unpaved roads. Cemeteries that can only be reached on foot are: 104 (500 m),106(400 m),173 (300 m),175 (450 m),180 (1.2 km, 0.8 mile), and 181 (1.5 km, 1 mile).

Coordinates for car GPS Navigation systems

The coordinates on this site are the ones for the locations to which a car can bring you, not the center of a cemetery.


Belgian War Cemeteries and Memorials on Google Maps



When you drag Ypres to the center of the map screen and zoom in enough, you will immediately see that there are many roads with several cemeteries alongside. This is very useful information for planning a day trip. With lesser miles to travel you can visit the maximum number of cemeteries/memorials.
