One of the most impressive attractions the town has to offer is the War Cemetery. During World war I there were several military hospitals in Bruneck, in which many wounded and sick soldiers and prisoners of war died.

 As they could not be buried in the town cemetery, the municipality allocated the military a large area on Kühbergl, a forested hill to the town, as an architect from Bregenz and a Pioneer officer serving in Bruneck, laid out the cemetery in such a way that it fits in harmoniously with the forest. 669 soldiers from the Austrian - Hungarian Army, and 103 Russian, 13 Serbian and 7 Romanian prisoners of war lie here in individual and mass graves.

The 77 Italian soldiers who were buried here were transferred to the newly constructed mausoleum in Pocòl in 1932; the 45 German soldiers were reburied at the memorial on Pordoi Pass. In World War II, 19 German soldiers who died in bombing raids, and an Italian office and 5 soldiers from Bruneck who died nearby in the last days of the war, were brought here and buried.
