Perimeter Route Marker 18: The Weverstraat

This is a marker of the Perimeter Route. On this route you walk in the footsteps of the Allies who tried to liberate this region in September 1944. Follow the route and discover not only impressive locations and historical events, but also personal stories from civilians and soldiers who were present at these places during the Battle of Arnhem.

The eastern border of the perimeter ran through the Weverstraat and there was heavy fighting here. German artillery caused a lot of damage, but the invasion of the perimeter was narrowly prevented.

The route book of the Perimeter Walk is for sale at Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein'
