Take a walk along five objects that recall the explosive past of the forest area of the M.A.St. This former Munitions Ausgabe Stelle of the Germans was blown up on September 5, 1944. With a smartphone you can read more about the bomb craters, the trench and other visible elements along the route via QR codes. Also visit deketsheuvel.nl for more information.

In this area you will see deep holes in several places. These were caused by bombings in WWII, Allied planes dropped their bombs here before flying back to the UK. This part of the Loonse and Drunense dunes is relatively quiet, with few walkers.

This is where the Germans stored ammunition in a large ammunition complex during the Second World War. When they were about to lose the war, they didn't want the ammunition to fall into the hands of the Allies, so they blew everything up. This happened on Crazy Tuesday, September 5, 1944.
