From Wageningen our first cycling tour of the week takes us through the lovely valley of the Lower Rhine river, and then on through the Veluwe, a large area of woods and heathlands. At the end of the day we pedal to Arnhem, via suburbs and past the lovely parks named Sonsbeek and Zijpendaal. Today's ride ends in Arnhem. During World War II, Arnhem was the battle scene of Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne operation in history. It ended in a failure, as the inability to capture a bridge over the Rhine River resulted in the destruction of the British 1st Airborne Division.
