Via Baesse 12 - Costermano del Garda
Among the historical and cultural sites of Lake Garda, the German Military Cemetery of Costermano is a meaningful destination for visitors wishing to explore the history of the Garda area during their holidays on Lake Garda. Located on the hills overlooking the eastern shore, just a few minutes from Garda and Costermano sul Garda, this place offers a moment of reflection within a remarkable natural setting.
Built between the 1950s and 1960s and managed by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, the cemetery is the final resting place of more than 21,000 soldiers who died during the Second World War in Northern Italy. The site features spacious terraced grounds surrounded by greenery, stone memorials, a commemorative chapel, a historical map and a panoramic viewpoint overlooking Lake Garda, Monte Baldo and the surrounding hills.
Beyond its historical significance, the site is one of the most interesting experiences on Lake Garda for travellers interested in cultural heritage and local landscapes. Its strategic location makes it easy to combine a visit with outdoor activities, hiking routes and walks through vineyards, olive groves and charming villages around Costermano. In spring, the blooming heather adds beautiful colours to the landscape, creating an especially evocative atmosphere.
For guests staying at Lake Garda campsites and open-air hospitality facilities, the German Military Cemetery of Costermano offers the opportunity to discover a lesser-known side of the Garda region, where history, memory and nature come together. A visit that enriches every travel experience and reveals the cultural depth of one of Italy’s most beloved destinations.
