Tour of Son en Breugel: A Bridge Too Far

First a cup of coffee at starting point De Sonse Haven and then you set off. This walking route first leads you a long way along the Wilhelmina Canal, the first canal in the Netherlands to be named after a queen. Then you walk through Breugel, where you cross the beautiful Dommeldal to Son with a bicycle and pedestrian bridge. The Dommel meanders here Son and Breugel have traditionally had joint jurisdiction and administration. Under Napoleon, the centers were merged into one municipality in 1814. You walk through Son along the winding Grote Beek. Stop at listening point L114: The bridge of your life. Here, in 1944, the British built a Bailey bridge in one night during Operation Market Garden, immortalized in the film A Bridge Too Far.
