• Establish new vehicles of collaboration among European countries and regions and help the cohesion of the territory with a common project which offers a new transnational experience through a cross-border European route.
• Encourage restoration of cemetery landscape.
• Provide an itinerary that not only offers a route to visit but a tool for knowledge and continued research.
• Be the starting point for other initiatives of study and promotion, such as, congresses, expositions, etc., and training and awareness-raising activities.
• Promote education in schools, incorporating the Route to their ordinary cultural visits in a dynamic and pedagogic manner.
