 |
|
Moscowa is a large, sprawling burial park (quoting their own description) situated on the Galgenberg (Gallows' Hill) on the fringes of Arnhem. It can be reached from the Schelmseweg (Scoundrels' Road, formerly leading to Gallows' Hill), the N785 Velp to Oosterbeek road. The cemetery is well signposted from nearby main roads.
The wargraves are located along the main east to west avenue from the entrance along the Waterbergseweg. You are permitted to cycle within the cemetery (a very useful permission, bearing in mind its sheer size), but cars are not allowed, unless part of a funeral procession. Parking is fairly limited. Public transport consists of the number 3 trolleybus to Burgers Zoo, which stops a few hundred yards away - ask the driver.
My apologies for the quality of some of the images. The photo below shows the patch where the five Scottish Commonwealth War Graves are located.
