In April 1945, British and Canadian soldiers crossed the Ijssel at this point to liberate Arnhem and the western Netherlands.
There is seating, information signs and a good view of the IJssel, which flows into the Nederrhijn nearby.

A special and somewhat hidden place, this place where the Allies experienced their successful battle for Arnhem in 1945. Not without a fight, but a lot more successful than in 1944 with the famous operation market garden. Beautiful monument.
