With over 400 WACO gliders, the US Army brought soldiers and supplies to this landing zone. It belonged to Operation Market Garden in September 1944. With four videos, the sailors are additionally presented here.

In memory of the soldiers who were dropped here during Operation Market Garden (WW2) to subsequently capture various bridges from the German Wehrmacht. Soldiers who landed here aimed to capture the bridge at Nijmegen (which succeeded).

Hiking

A skeleton as a replica of the aircraft. Inside there are benches and two steering wheels for the children. Far too tempting to climb around (and at least not explicitly forbidden).
