    The Dennenoord Evacuation Monument in Zuidlaren (municipality of Tynaarlo) consists of a metal statue on a base of gray natural stone. The monument is also known as 'The Hell Tour'. The pedestal consists of three rectangular stones that are stacked on top of each other at an angle. The image depicts 5 patients from Dennenoord leaning on each other and supporting each other. The misery of transport is reflected in their attitude and expression.

    This is the war monument "The Odyssey" (also known as the Dennenoord Evacuation Monument), a bronze sculpture created by artist Anita Franken.
    The statue depicts five emaciated, vulnerable human figures standing close together, leaning on and holding onto each other. This represents the exhaustion, misery AND mutual support during this arduous journey. The pedestal consists of three concrete blocks deliberately stacked askew to symbolize the disruption of that time.
