Your Holiday Itinerary
4-Day Break
- Day 1 – Arrive at our hotel in Arnhem-Velp for a three-night stay.
- Day 2 – Ysselsteyn, Overloon and Nijmegen (included) and Groesbeek Liberation Museum (optional). Today we see the German Cemetery at Ysselsteyn, followed by Venray British Cemetery, before visiting the National War and Resistance Museum at Overloon. Our day concludes in Nijmegen. The fascinating National Liberation Museum, our optional excursion today, overlooks the Landing Zones of the American 82nd Airborne Division and the Reichswald Forest. We then visit the nearby Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery at Groesbeek, which contains the memorial bearing the names of 1103 Commonwealth Servicemen (many lost at Arnhem) who have no known grave. B
- Day 3 – Hell’s Highway and Oosterbeek (included). Travelling to ‘Hell’s Highway’, we pass through Son and Veghel to Grave, then onwards to the bridge at Arnhem, which was defended by the British 1st Airborne Division. We then see St. Elizabeth Hospital, the scene of bitter fighting, and Acacialaan, where Sgt. Baskeyfield won his VC, before arriving at the 1st Airborne Museum. Housed in the Hartenstein Hotel at Oosterbeek, this was the headquarters of the Arnhem Division. We also see memorials at Ginkelheide and Heelsum. B
