CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE HANOVRE Allemagne
On se rend au cimetière militaire de Hanovre, qui jouxte le cimetière de guerre de Hanovre, en empruntant l'autoroute A2 E30 qui va de Dortmund à Berlin. À l'intersection avec la B441, tournez à droite sur la B441 et suivez les panneaux indiquant Hanovre, Ahlem et Seelze. Après avoir fait 7 kilomètres, tournez à droite sur la Seelzestrasse en direction de Harenburg. Après avoir fait 5 kilomètres et être entré dans Harenburg, tournez à gauche sur la Harenberger Miele. Au sortir de Harenburg, vous vous dirigerez vers Hanovre. Le cimetière militaire et le cimetière de guerre de Hanovre se trouvent à 3 kilomètres.
