When the war came
When the War Came is an audio bike tour through the municipality of Brummen past places you would drive right past today, but where between 1940 and 1945 ordinary life tilted. You hear about a farmer who drew his line, people hiding in the woods, steps in a yard that never calmed down. About tension at the table and whispers in the house. But also about shelling and events that greatly disrupted society. No great battles, but people from here who sometimes, in the midst of their fear, did something that proved courageous.

The avenues of the past
The beautiful and rich landscape of this area has attracted attention for centuries. Comfortable people settled here and left their legacy in the form of the many estates, castles and country houses you can find here. The audio bike tour De Lanen van Toen takes you along these places where lanes, water and old houses are more than just pretty scenery. Beneath the greenery lies a landscape of power and property, of hunting and labour, of government and war. Places where moats and driveways were once a message.
