A beautiful, sturdy bridge. On the Grave side. You can see a bunker. There's a monument next to it with information about the Second World War. Turning the wheel plays a spoken commentary. Definitely worth listening to.

The John S. Thompson Bridge, located near Grave, is a strategic bridge over the Maas River, officially known as the Bridge at Grave. It was named in honor of Lt. Col. John S. Thompson, commander of the 82nd Airborne Regiment, which successfully captured the bridge during Operation Market Garden (September 1944). The airborne units captured the bridge virtually intact, preserving a vital link in the Allied advance toward Nijmegen and Arnhem. A small monument commemorates this action stands on the north side. The bridge is therefore an important war memorial in the Maas-Grave area.

The Kraaijenbergse Plassen form an extensive lake area of over 400 ha. The lakes are located in the municipality of Land van Cuijk. The lakes have been created since 1968 by the extraction of industrial sand, gravel and clay. You can cycle and walk around the lakes and there are many water sports to practice. There are several catering establishments around the lakes.

My absolute highlight in this area - small but beautiful. Pure nature - suitable for hikers and cyclists.

Beautiful boats are nice there when the weather is nice

The bridge was captured by Lieutenant John S. Thompson during Operation Market Garden. His name was given to the bridge by his widow as a tribute during the commemoration in September 2004.
