Gelderland commemorates freedom
How much can and should freedom cost? A question that is topical every year. There was heavy fighting here during the Second World War. Every year Gelderland commemorates liberation, peace and freedom: a unique story of a province that from Market Garden (September 1944) until the capitulation in Wageningen (May 1945) occupied a central place in the final phase of the Second World War. The events have shaped post-war development and give meaning to core values of our current society.
Elburg
On the banks of the Veluwemeer lies the picturesque port city of Elburg. This cosy Hanseatic city has a beautiful fortress that breathes history. Typical of Elburg are the cobbled side streets with the displayed flowers and plants, the high quality culinary restaurants and the many boutiques. Just outside the ramparts behind the famous Vischpoort is the harbour, which is directly connected to the Veluwemeer. Admire the beautiful fishing boats while enjoying a drink on one of the cosy terraces.
Dolfinarium
Hear (and smell!) the hulking walruses and sea lions. Marvel at the jumping skills of the dolphins, stroke rays and sharks at the Roggenrif. It's all possible in the Dolfinarium! Please note that the Dolfinarium is closed during the low season.

The Ruien
Dive underground into the corridor system of Antwerp. In the Middle Ages, waterways traversed the city of Antwerp. When they lost their function, they were covered and tunnels were created. During a walk through this underground system of corridors, you will discover all the secrets of the city.
