What you can expect

Begin your journey by cycling through the city. As you ride, I'll share stories from World War II that shaped Amersfoort and its people. Along the route, stop at key monuments that honour those who resisted, suffered, or lost their lives during the occupation.

Pause at monuments near Nationaal Monument Kamp Amersfoort, each offering a unique perspective on the past. These locations, when viewed together, reveal a broader understanding of how deeply the war affected daily life in the city.

Next, reach Nationaal Monument Kamp Amersfoort, a central focus of the tour. Dismount for a one-hour walking tour. Be guided through the grounds, hearing stories of those imprisoned here. Afterwards, have time to explore the museum at your own pace.

Next, we visit the Sovjet Experience which tells the lesser known stories of Soviet prisoners of war—some of whom were held at Kamp Amersfoort. Follow Soviet soldier Vladimir from the moment he says goodbye to his family through an impressive Virtual Reality experience. Join him as a soldier at the front, as a prisoner of war on the train to Nazi Germany and as a forced labourer in a coal mine deep underground.

Finally, return to your starting point at Amersfoort Central Station—or another agreed location. The biking pace remains easy, with many rest moments, allowing everyone to stay comfortable and engaged.
