Itterdal
From junction 526 you drive on the historic Geuzenbaan that runs through the Gruitroderbos. This driveway owes its name to the retreat of William of Orange after the Battle of Jodoigne in 1568. With their route, the Beggars wanted to avoid the knights of the Teutonic Order in Gruitrode, because they were not well-disposed towards Van Orange.
