On 10 April 1945, Deventer was liberated, via Schalkhaar, where the Canadian army still faced heavy fighting. It was a day of mixed emotions, as members of the resistance lost their lives in the final days during the so-called Twentol drama. One of the liberators at the time, Nick Janicki, maintained a long bond with the city.

The route leads through the historic Hanseatic town, with its atmospheric centre and the bridge across the IJssel.
