숲길 시작, 서쪽 끝

정말 사바나 같았습니다. 주변과 숲 속에 놀라운 속도의 자전거 도로가 있었습니다. 나무와 언덕이 바람을 막아주어 소중한 경험을 선사했습니다.

A lovely long stretch to cycle and let your thoughts wander in beautiful nature.

A bit of a desert area, loose sand, but easy to walk on

A very beautiful area with good cycle paths.

Nerves are running high. The last hours before a major attack are the worst. This also applies to the Scottish Highlanders who are preparing for the crossing of the Drainage Canal from 's-Hertogenbosch to Drongelen. It is Saturday 4 November 1944, a fresh and grey autumn day. The temperature fluctuates around nine degrees and there is a light wind. Soldiers of the 51st Highland Division arrive at various locations in the Loonse and Drunense Dunes at the end of the morning. The 5th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders has gathered around Giersbergen at the end of the morning. Lieutenant Colonel Walford's unit, over 800 men, has left Udenhout and is marching along the Rustende Jager to the hamlet. The soldiers are preparing for the upcoming operation. They hastily eat a so-called 'tiffin' meal', a light lunch. Weapons are checked, equipment checked and cartridges are distributed. The village on the northern edge of the dunes is a hive of activity for a while. At half past three the men march to the starting point. From the farm (now café) de Klinkert they walk over sandy paths to the wooded area just south of the canal dike. They arrive there an hour later. The thin canvas boats with which they are to cross are already ready, well camouflaged. Then the waiting begins. One of the Seaforths describes this episode very vividly: ‘We lay on the ground in the usual tense silence, waiting for the drumming of the guns. I remember a soldier in a ditch next to me. He was biting his lips and his hands were shaking. Then the first shells flew over us and somehow the tension was broken. He tightened the strap of his helmet, grinned at me, nodded in the direction of the explosions on the German side of the canal. ‘Exactly right!’ he said. It was then five past half four. The attack could begin."
