A tour in the wake of the liberators

The cycle route starts and ends at Pannenkoekenboerderij Kernhem. You will soon pass a listening point of the Liberation Route, the route of the liberators at the end of the Second World War. It is worth taking a break and hearing what happened at L55: Battle of Ginkelse Heide. Huge airborne landings took place here as part of Operation Market Garden. A large part of the army became trapped in Oosterbeek, where Hotel Hartenstein became their headquarters. There was heavy fighting all around. When the British finally withdrew across the Rhine, Hartenstein was left devastated. The Airborne Museum is now located on this historic site. You cycle back via Kasteel Doorwerth, another nice spot to get off.
