Experience the Sounds of War and Honor the Heroes
There was heavy fighting in the area between Arnhem and Wageningen during the Second World War. The much-discussed failed Operation Market Garden costs thousands of lives in September 1944. Every year this is still remembered in the region. This route takes you to the famous 'bridge too far', a war cemetery, museums and more interesting WW2 sights in the Arnhem/Nijmegen region.

This museum has been totally remodelled and reopened just a few years ago. There is a permanent exhibition about the story of War and Peace, in the Netherlands and also across its borders. You will get information about WWII and other wars from different perspectives and see how it relates to modern times.
It’s a very interesting museum with lots of info, but also with points where you can grasp the feeling of being in the middle of a war. There is the use of sight, touch and sound to make it easier to imagine how it must be to be in the centre of a continuous battle.
Tickets cost € 15,00 for adults and €7 euro for kids above the age of 7. You can also purge a family ticket, which is cheaper: €34,50 for two adults with two kids. You can buy tickets at the desk. For more info check de website online

Taking in so much information at once is awesome and educative, but it doesn’t fill your stomach. So time for lunch. You are going to a place called De Duivelsberg (the Devil's hill). It's situated in a beautiful forestry area where you can sit outside on the terrace, or inside when it rains. This place is famous for its pancakes. But if you have never tried the Dutch delicious snack ‘Poffertjes’ this is what you have to order. Poffertjes are delicious mini pancakes everybody has to try once in their life.
