| Sites Within Two Hours of Ramstein |
| The sites below are within two hours (one way) driving time from the KMC area. All these sites may be visited in a one day trip, remembering that weather and traffic may lengthen the driving time and that winter daylight hours are short. In addition, roads in some areas are narrow and curvy and may take more time than is evident based on the mileage. Feel free to contact us if you need help planning a trip while the self-guided tour pages are under construction. |
 |
| Malmedy Massacre Site and Baugnez 44 Historical Center: Site of a notorious German atrocity involving US POWs, with monument and museum. This site is ~ 2 hours away, and a visit will take more time if combined with recommended visits to nearby La Gleize and Ligneuville |
 |
| Arlon Military Flea Market, Arlon Luxembourg: Every other month indoor free-for-all market. Three halls of military items from ~ 1880's to Iraq |
| The National Museum of Military History, Diekirch Luxembourg: the ultimate WWII Bulge museum, with enough artifacts and vehicles to outfit a Third World country. This is a "don't miss it" site! |
| Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Hamm, Luxembourg: WWII cemetery containing the graves of 5,076 Americans including General George Patton. Adjacent to Sandweiler German military cemetery. |
| Sandweiler German Military Cemetery, or Soldatenfriedhof, in Sandweiler Luxembourg: WWII cemetery containing 11,391 German casualties, mostly from the Battle of the Bulge. Adjacent to Luxembourg American Cemetery. |
