Along Polish liberation monuments

This 51 kilometer long cycle route leads past the Polish liberation monuments in the towns of Baarle Nassau, Alphen, Bavel and Breda.

The cycle route along these places is touristic and does not follow the route taken by the Polish military in 1944, 75 years ago.

Between Ulvenhout and Baarle Nassau you drive through forests and along forest edges.

Between Baarle Nassau and Alphen you drive on a former tramway the so-called Bels Lijntje.

After Alphen you drive through the Chaamse woods on quiet and quiet cycle paths, the new bicycle alley, towards Bavel.

The asphalt on the bike path was reapplied in 2020, and drives perfectly.

After Bavel, through the Ginneken district, you follow more or less the route that the Poles took in 1944.

The route starts and ends at the NS train station.
