Military Field of Honor
Militair Ereveld Grebbeberg is a war cemetery for the Netherlands soldier who fell in the fighting in the begining of the WW II. It is a fine place to give respect to all who had given their life for the country. There is a small information centre with audio reports, pictures, things that were connected to the WW II and also some medallions. The parking area is just next to the cemetery.
