Vladslo German War Cemetery

Reviewed By hansv245 - Kwadendamme, The Netherlands

We wanted to have a look at the statues made by Kathe Kollwitz which are so impressive. They symbolize the grief of parents for their sons who died in battle. Her son Peter is burried just in front of the statues. The cemeteries also has two graves of British soldiers. There are a lot of allied cemeteries, maybe a good idea to visit one the German ones. They were also just young guys who could have had a future.

After a very powerful short film, you get the lift to the 22nd floor, for a great panorama of Diksmuide, then decend a floor at a time to look at the very many artefacts of, and detailed information on, the First World War. Quite gripping, and an absolute 'must' to visit if you are anywhere near the area.

Dodengang (Trench of Death)

Reviewed By helengV6947MN

An interesting and informative few hours spent at this small but exceptional museum. The preserved trenches are very humbling to be in - we were the only visitors at the time so it was very eerie in the wind and drizzle. Well worth a few hours of your time.
