Audio route When the war came

(45 km)

No major battles. No nationally known war stories. Yet the war and German occupation had a great impact on Brummen's local society. Compulsory employment. Consequences if you did not comply. Fusilisation of residents. Shelling. Acts of bravery, resistance and sometimes betrayal. During this audio route, you cycle past 15 places where you can listen to a story from the residents' perspective about the war and liberation of Brummen. Places you would drive past today but where history has left its traces.

Download the free Op pad Veluwe app and cycle the route along the Veluwe cycling network. Via the app, listen to the stories or scan the QR code on location.

Stories were created partly on the basis of Heidi Touw's historical research and published in the magazine Oorlog en Bevrijding van Brummen en Eerbeek i.o.v. former St. Visit Brummen Eerbeek.
