On 9 April 1945, Nijverdal was liberated. The Canadian liberators were able to take the town with relative ease. Yet amid the celebrations there was also the shadow of the Allied bombardment of 22 March 1945, in which dozens of civilians were killed. During the war, the labour camp Twilhaar was located near Nijverdal, which after the liberation was also used by Canadian soldiers.

The route leads through the beautiful surroundings of the Sallandse Heuvelrug and the lively centre of Nijverdal. Here, the Memory Freedom Museum can also be visited.
