    Peace at Last!

    Of course, you know that WWII ended in the Netherlands in 1945. You will find a happy end to your journey (not that happy end, you filthy-minded reader) in Wageningen, where the Germans signed the capitulation. Yay!

    National Liberation Monument Wageningen

    Open Details
    This square is called the 5th of may. On may 4th the Dutch hold 2 minutes of silence for the fallen and on the 5th they celebrate their freedom. In Wageningen, you will find the best party on this day because it is a very special place for the Dutch. While you walk through town, please enjoy the buildings. It's a very pretty part of the Netherlands.

    Monument for the fallen

    Open Details
    You have arrived at the Monument for the fallen. This is the place where the silent march on May 4th ends every year. It both remembers the fallen soldiers as well as civilian victims of the war. You see there are a lot of monuments everywhere you go. It's a way for the Dutch to never forget that people fought for their freedom. Although it is a long time ago, it's still an important subject in schools. The phrase 'lest we forget' is often used during war remembrance services.

    DIELS restobar

    Restaurant
    Open Details
    So many signs of a war fought long ago, so many natural sights, a fruit machine, a bunker with sound. There is lots to talk about. There are many restaurants to choose from in the centre of town, but I recommend this one. Food is just a tat bit different than in other restaurants, the atmosphere is nice and the staff is really friendly, yet professional. Great place to eat!
    Open Hours: Wednesday - Friday : 17:00–22:00 Saturday - Sunday: 12:00–22:00

    Hotel de Wereld

    Lodging
    Open Details
    What a trip. You have probably learned a lot the last couple of days, and what better place to close it off in the actual hotel where peace was signed. Hotel the Wereld is the place where the Germans surrendered and the 'capitulation' was signed. It's a very special place and it might be the most famous 4-star hotel in the Netherlands.

    Amsterdam

    Time to drive back to Amsterdam. If you want to learn even more about WWII in the Netherlands, you can visit the Ann Frank house in the centre of the city. But that It's all up to you. Safe travels!
