During World War II, this strategic site was heavily contested during the Battle of Arnhem. Read in the book "No Return Flight" by Haks Walburgh Schmidt, which retraces the story of 25 dropped here British paratroopers.
Later there was a carousel, today a tourist restaurant (respect partly very limited opening times). Especially because of the view worth the way here.
