By bicycle on War Trail
Op zondag 29 juni organiseert gids Niels in samenwerking met het Infocentrum WO2 Nijmegen een thematische fietstocht. Tijdens een tour van ongeveer 8 kilometer word je meegenomen langs aansprekende locaties die een grote rol speelden bij de bevrijding van Nijmegen tijdens Operatie Market Garden in september 1944.
During the bicycle tour, all kinds of facts and stories are told about the human side of Operation Market Garden. Attention will be paid to the courage of soldiers and the personal fortunes of ordinary Nijmegen citizens who suddenly found themselves between two stools, but also to the important role of the Dutch resistance during the battle. Also central is the courageous crossing of the river Waal by American paratroopers, which led directly to the liberation of Nijmegen. The alternation between bicycles, historical footage, documents and props adds even more color to the story of the battle.
The bicycle tour starts at 2 p.m. and ends around 5 p.m. Starting location is the Infocentrum WW2 Nijmegen. Participation costs € 10 p.p. and can only be paid on the spot in cash at the guides. The Museumkaart is not valid.
Aanmelden is noodzakelijk en kan gedaan worden door te mailen naar welkom@infocentrumwo2.nl. Deadline voor aanmelding is vrijdag 27 juni vóór 16.00 uur.
Please note that in case of bad weather or too few registrations, the bike rides will not take place.
