The marching route
The routes lead past the most important wartime locations in the Oosterbeek area.
- the former Hartenstein Hotel, which was the Divisional H.Q. at the time of the battle and is now the Airborne Museum
- the Airborne Cemetery, where over 1700 British and polish soldiers are buried
- the vast woods of the "Bilderberg" where troops fought a hard battle
- the drop and landing zones of Wolfheze, Renkum and Heelsum
- the dropzones on the Ginkelse Heide (Ginkel Heath) – (40 km distance only)
- the Old Church where troops gathered during the retreat.
All these locations are described in a brochure "The Battle of Arnhem" which can be obtained in the Airborne Museum.
Every year approx. 25 bands accompany the participants. Not only when they leave the sports park, when a march-past is held in front of the Airborne Museum, but also near the finish.
All the routes are clearly signposted in the colours of the marching cards.
Below you will find route maps for the four distances. By clicking on the image, the maps will be displayed in Google™ Maps. Here you have the possibility to view them as road map, as satellite image or both. If you click on the 'KML' button in this program, you can download an overlay to use in Google™ Earth (for this Google™ Earth must be installed on your computer)
