Cycling in the Rivierenland
It is not widely known, but the western Gelderland river area was among one of the hardest hit areas in the Netherlands in World War II. In May 1940, the region was already part of the fighting when German troops invaded. Especially the period from September 1944 to May 1945, more than seven months, when the rivers Maas and Waal formed the front line between German and Allied troops had enormous consequences.
