Military tourism
The story of the 2.000 Allied airborne troops that landed in 1944 on Ginkel Heath is known to many. The history of Operation Pegasus, Fliegerhorst Deelen and the role of the world famous art museum Kröller Müller in World War 2 are less known. Another interesting feature is the military architecture. With 10 buildings the former garrison terrain in Ede shows over 100 years of Dutch military architecture, illustrating the development of the Dutch army.
