    Hiking

    Also not a highlight where you could be proud of it, but witness terrible deeds from the time

    of National Socialism.

    -The shooting-place in the vunettes of Vught

    On 20 December 1947, this memorial was inaugurated by the Dutch Princess Juliana as a national monument.

    Here at the shooting-place

    26 limestone panels were lined up in a wall.

    On these boards were listed 124 towns and villages - from Alkmaar to Zwolle-.

    Below the 26 limestone tiles on a sandstone base, a quote from the Dutch national anthem was immortalized:

    I remain faithful to the fatherland

    to the death <

    The execution site in Vught is a monument to remember. An impressive place on the edge of the Vughtse Hei.
