Walking/hiking routes

The 4.6-kilometre Walking Route Grenzgeschichten Reuver takes you through Reuver past places with an impressive wartime history. What seems like a peaceful village today turns out to be full of hidden stories along the route.

Walking through wartime history

With the free IZI Travel app, you’ll hear more about life during the war, hiding places and escape routes. Along the walk, you’ll pass a monastery that during the war served as a refuge for Jewish refugees, orphans from Rotterdam and Catholic priests. You’ll also see a reconstructed tank ditch and trenches that show what the frontline looked like.

Remembering and reflecting

At several places along the route, you pause at personal stories from eyewitnesses, told via the IZI Travel app. You pass places where people hid in old factory ovens, and graves of those who didn’t survive the war. An impressive walk that invites reflection.

Prefer a paper version? You can order the Grenzgeschichten brochure free of charge. Or download the free IZI Travel app and open the route on your phone.

Grenzgeschichten is made possible by the Interreg Programme Germany–Netherlands, co-funded by the European Union and programme partners.
