Visitted the Canadian War Cemtery in Groesbeek
groesbeek Says: Hello, My name is Michel Janssen out Nijmegen. I have live from 1963 to 1993 in the beautiful village Groesbeek. This village is a beautiful tourist village where you can to vacation.
vichatherly Says: A visit to the National Liberation Museum 1944 - 1945 is well worth the time.We stopped here as part of our three day tour of Operation Market Garden.The museum was pretty quiet when we arrived and we were given a short introductory explanation, in English, by one of the...
egonwegh Says: Interior of the church. Notice the paneled ceiling. It does look very Byzantine, doesn't it? Made us wonder why and when this church was constructed after the Byzantine fashion. Well, we know for sure it wasn't erected during the Byzantine Era ;-)We came here to attend a...
egonwegh Says: Church of the Divine Heart of Jesus. Their Stations of the Cross are reproductions. The original works of art, which we recognized as work done by Dutch artist Jan Toorop, are at St Bernulphus' Church in Oosterbeek near Arnhem. I borrowed this picture from a website as there...
egonwegh Says: St Mary's Chapel at the Church of the Divine Heart of Jesus, Groesbeek - De Horst. January 15, 2006.
egonwegh Says: Interior of the Church of Groesbeek - De Horst, Church of the Divine Heart of Jesus. Choir with wall painting of the Last Supper that looks almost Byzantine.
egonwegh Says: The organ of the church. We didn't have a close look, but Jennie thought that most of the pipes were probably fake ones anyway. Adding fake organ pipes is a common practice, by the way.

De Wolfsberg: Here be wolves (well, there used to be anyway)
egonwegh Says: Very good location on the edge of a large patch of woodland with an open view of the hills around Groesbeek. They provide three-star lodgings as well -- 13 April 2008. For our main course, I had a tasty special breed of chicken - 'krokant gebakken kemperhoen met asperges,...
egonwegh Says: From Nijmegen (e.g. central railway station) you can take a bus no. 5 to Groesbeek. The distance is about 10 kilometers, that's a 25 minute drive by bus.
Direction Nijmegen and then ...
Pavlik_NL Says: Going to this (remote) area in The Netherlands, one should start driving in the direction of Nijmegen and there follow the signs to "Berg en Dal" / "Groesbeek". In the village itself, the Liberation Museum and Canadian Cemetry are well appointed directions.
The register on a commemorating cemetry
Pavlik_NL Says: Cemetries of this kind are to be found throughout the Netherlands as well as Europe. In our country the are somewhat built in a similar way and have in the entrancebuildings (hall ways where names are printed on the walls) a little box with a metal door. It is open for...
Pavlik_NL Says: On these cemetries (just like the one in Oosterbeek), I always look up my name. Having a very international name, I always find a Daniels there and visit his grave to honour the guy that is a hero! Here however I was touched deeply, because the stone told me he died only a...
For those who are looking not,
Pavlik_NL Says: but for those who are in The Netherlands just as tourists, Groesbeek is completely off the beaten track. It's situation comepletely East makes it out off sight, but for Dutch and Canadians it still is a place of great interest as well as emotion.
