    Hiking

    The Westerbouwing has existed since 1750. Mr. Derk Gaymans bought it in 1802 and built a tea room for his family. The next owner H.J. Backer turned it into a pavilion for walkers. The well-known steamer from Arnhem with a gilded swan on the stern called at the Westerbouwing.

    Hiking

    A hill above the ferry.

    During World War II, this strategic site was heavily contested during the Battle of Arnhem. Read in the book "No Return Flight" by Haks Walburgh Schmidt, which retraces the story of 25 dropped here British paratroopers.

    Later there was a carousel, today a tourist restaurant (respect partly very limited opening times). Especially because of the view worth the way here.
