Arnhem, The Veluwe and the Kroller-Muller Museum.  Arnhem is the town that was fought over in WWII and memorialized in the book and movie,"A Bridge to Far."  We biked up hill from town to the park. They do not want cars in the park so you can take a white park bike from the entrance (they have lots)  Riding through the park reminded me of the Yellowstone Park in Montana USA Lots of dry areas surrounded by forest.  The park was a "donation" by the Kroller-Muller family to the Dutch.  (after the family ran out of money.  Saw a very nice hunting lodge and the museum.  Helene Kroller-Muller was quite the art collector, lots of Van Gogh's and such.  Part of the group then biked to the Airborne Museum which is about the Arnhem battle and the people who lived there at that time.  Back to the barge which was still moored on the Rhine near the bridge.
