Walk of freedom

Students from Inholland University of Applied Sciences together with the archivists at the Provincial Historical Archive developed a historic walk to commemorate 75 years of freedom. A stroll along 25 monuments, buildings and statues to reflect on WWII, peace and freedom.

The walk of freedom is available as of today. Buy a brochure at the Tourist Information Centre for 2 euros or download the izi.Travel app on your phone for more information, videos and questions to test your knowledge.

For an impression of the route and the videos see below.

(for the Dutch version of the walk of freedom go to Vrijheidswandeling).
