Stunning artworks on the bridge between Venlo and Blerick. "The Watchers" in Venlo warn against aggression, violence, and war. They serve as symbolic guardians of the city of Venlo. After a successful advance through Northern France and Belgium, the Americans of the 30th Infantry, "Old Hickory," succeeded in liberating most of South Limburg. Subsequently, on September 17, 1944, the Allies launched a major offensive (Operation "Market Garden") from Belgium to capture a bridgehead over the major rivers in the Netherlands. Airborne troops were to secure bridges in North Brabant and Gelderland in a lightning-fast attack. From Belgium, ground troops were to advance across the captured bridges to the IJsselmeer. Three complete divisions were dropped: the 101st US Airborne Division at Eindhoven and Veghel, the 82nd US Airborne Division at Grave and Groesbeek, and the 1st British Airborne Division at Arnhem and Oosterbeek. For the Americans, everything went relatively smoothly. The bridges over the Maas River and the Maas-Waal Canal at Heumen and most of the bridges near Eindboven fell into their hands, as did the Waal Bridge at Nijmegen after a fierce battle. But the Rhine Bridge at Arnhem proved too far. The British paratroopers were surprised by German armor and had to withdraw to the Betuwe region with heavy losses.

Great view of the nature reserve

Here, in the middle of the forest, you pass a labyrinth. It's hard to imagine. It's one of the largest labyrinths in Europe and belongs to the Arcen estate. The size of three football fields, the path is approximately 2.5 km long. A bench also invites you to rest.

Stop! Stop! This far and no further...

I gave the text on the panel to ChatGPT and asked them to summarize it: The information panel describes the historic labyrinth *"De Dolgaard"* at *Landgoed Arcen* in Limburg (Netherlands). Here's a brief summary: - *De Dolgaard* is one of the largest and oldest known earthwork labyrinths (with earthwork walls) in Western Europe. - It consists of two parts: a *large* and a *small* labyrinth. - Such labyrinths were often used for entertainment and religious symbolism in the past. - The labyrinth is well preserved and has been made visible again through archaeological research and partially restored. - *Stichting het Limburgs Landschap* is responsible for the preservation and protection of the area. - The panel also includes maps, old plans, and aerial photographs to illustrate the complex. Support for its preservation is also requested – donations or volunteer help.
