Icon description route Description

In September and October 1944, the Kempen were liberated. The occupation - which lasted more than 4 years -
thus came to an end. However, the war and its consequences were not immediately over.
In the run-up to freedom, Balen and Olmen were shaken by some tragic
events with heavy human toll. Joy and sorrow were never far apart in those days.
Let this Route 44 already be a (cycling) road to never forget those events.

Monday, September 8, 2025 by M.S.Caution around and near the marsh area near the end of the trail. The picnic meadow is only accessible during prolonged drought conditions. But definitely worth a visit.
