A visit to the Hidden Village gives you a penetrating impression of what people in hiding had to endure in the Second World War here in the middle of the woods on the Veluwe.

The Hidden Village was a hiding camp, also called "Pas-Opkamp" or the Secret Village. It was built during WWII and consisted of 9 huts in this then very dense forest. From April 1943 to October 1944, 86 people found a safe hiding place here.

In October 1944, the village was discovered by chance and 8 of the 86 people in hiding were captured and shot. Today, there are still 3 huts including a memorial.

Accessible by bike and on foot.

This recreated hideout is a reminder of 'the secret village' that was established in these forests during the years '42 - '44, where about a hundred people in hiding, Jews and allied airmen were kept hidden from the German occupiers in these shelters.
