A beautiful, sturdy bridge. On the Grave side. You can see a bunker. There's a monument next to it with information about the Second World War. Turning the wheel plays a spoken commentary. Definitely worth listening to.

I read on the column at the front that the architecture resembles that of fairy tales. A beautiful little castle!

The John S. Thompson Bridge, located near Grave, is a strategic bridge over the Maas River, officially known as the Bridge at Grave. It was named in honor of Lt. Col. John S. Thompson, commander of the 82nd Airborne Regiment, which successfully captured the bridge during Operation Market Garden (September 1944). The airborne units captured the bridge virtually intact, preserving a vital link in the Allied advance toward Nijmegen and Arnhem. A small monument commemorates this action stands on the north side. The bridge is therefore an important war memorial in the Maas-Grave area.

1903: The mill was rebuilt using an octagonal frame from a Groningen mill. The mill was the former Faber oil mill, later Bakker, which was transferred from Middelstum in 1903 and rebuilt in Schoonoord for J.G. (Jakob Gerrit) de Vries (1835-1916). According to the records of the Wouda sailmaker's shop in Meppel, sails were rented for this mill from 1912 to 1932 for a 68-foot wing and sails for a 72-foot wing. No sails were rented between 1913 and 1929. 1937: The trestle was replaced. The trestle height is 5.50 m. 1945: The mill was decommissioned. 1946: The mill was fitted with streamlined noses from Wetsinge. 1949: The mill remained in operation until 1949. 1952: Last repaired and put back into operation. 1978: Finally stopped working. By the time of the dismantling in 1978, the internal workings were already missing. One of the sails was clearly second-hand and far too heavy for this mill. During the dismantling in 1978, it was found to be more or less wedged in the shaft head. Turning was impossible: the cutting torch had to be used.

From here you have a good view of the thermal bath buildings, which are somewhat out of place in the landscape.

The nature in the Overasseltse Venn is simply beautiful, but unfortunately the area is not very large.
