Follow the path of Hell\\\'s Highway and visit the Eerdse mill, which served as an observation post. This 23-kilometre stage takes you along the fourth segment of the route that the liberators took on Dutch territory. The Liberation Route Brabant tells the story of the liberation and also sheds light on the impact of the Second World War on the ordinary people of Brabant. The entire route covers 125 kilometres and is divided into five stages. This stage follows the Airborne Hiking Trail, which tells the story of Operation Market Garden. During this operation, roads and bridges had to be captured to bypass the Siegfried Line via Arnhem, so that the Allied army could advance towards Berlin.
