Freedom Route Geesteren
Twelve residents of Geesteren lost their lives during the Second World War. During this route, you will hear what happened to them. Along the way, you will pass QR codes that share their remarkable stories. Symbolically, 75 years after the liberation, these war victims were honoured with a living monument: a tree planted in Geesteren for each of them. These 12 trees marked the beginning of the Liberty Forest, which you will also walk past.
