Open and natural place
It may sound strange to call a cemetery a Place of Happiness. But death is part of our lives. Keeping the memory of our dead alive and searching for meaning contribute to a harmonious life. Bergerbos is an open and natural place.
Sint Odiliënberg Woodland Burial Park
More than 2,000 people are buried here. You can see their names right at the entrance on a the basalt boulders surrounding the memorial column. Together, they form a map. That way, you can find their graves in the forest near boulders or other natural features. You can walk, whisper and listen quietly here. The only cemetery where you dare to smile.
