    Operatie Market Garden was bedoeld om een versneld einde te maken aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De regio Arnhem en het Rijk van Nijmegen speelden daarin een belangrijke rol. Op 17 september begon daar “De slag om Arnhem”. Operatie Market Garden was de grootste luchtlandingsoperatie uit de geschiedenis. 10.000 para’s, 1000 DC3 Skytrains, 500 Horsa Gliders, 500 Jeeps, 300 stuks geschut en 1500 gevechtsvliegtuigen werden ingezet om de strijd te beginnen.

    Op diverse plekken in het landschap liggen de dropzones verspreid: dropzone Y ligt op de zuid-Ginkel bij Ede tussen knooppunt 64 en 84 aan de Wijde Veldweg. Tussen knooppunten 84 en 82 liggen Dropzone X en Z in Renkum. Richting Wolfheze vind je dropzone S en in Oosterbeek ligt dropzone L. In de Betuwe bij Driel ligt dropzone K waar de Polen landden.

    Deze fietsroute is 56 kilometer lang en voert je door het hele gebied. Je kunt overal opstappen. Wij zijn begonnen op de Ginkels heide bij Ede waar de Slag om Arnhem begon. In Ede vindt hier jaarlijks een grote herdenking plaats op de 3e zaterdag in september. Honderden para’s worden gedropt bij het monument van de gevallenen. Een indrukwekkend schouwspel.

    CALCULATE CALORIES

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
