This is the Dommel, the river over which a hay bridge has stood for centuries. Now, the bridge is part of a beautiful walking and cycling route. It used to be a functional crossing for farmers who grazed cattle and brought in crops on both sides of the Dommel.

During the war years, Henkenshage Castle served as a distribution office for coupons. During Operation Market Garden, the castle became General Taylor's headquarters for the 101st Airborne Division. On September 20, 1944, the headquarters of the 101st Airborne Division moved from Son to Henkenshage Castle in Sint-Oedenrode. On September 24, General Horrocks, commander of the British XXX Corps, was informed that he could make one last attempt to reach the British troops north of the Rhine. If this attempt failed, Operation Market Garden would fail. Meanwhile, German troops had breached the corridor at Koevering (between Veghel and Sint-Oedenrode). The Allied advance was halted. Citizens of Sint-Oedenrode still remember General Horrocks cursing and swearing in the market square. He didn't reach his own headquarters in Nijmegen until the next morning. The final attempt to reach the British and Polish troops at Oosterbeek was unsuccessful. As discussed in Henkenshage, Operation Market Garden was halted.

Robert Cole and Joe Mann On September 18 and 19, 1944, these woods witnessed unprecedented fierce fighting. German troops attempted to prevent the breakthrough of American paratroopers who had landed the previous day and the British troops advancing from the south. Two exceptionally brave men were killed in this battle. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole and Private Joe Mann were both posthumously awarded the highest American military decoration: the Medal of Honor. Listen to their stories here. On Monday, September 18 and Tuesday, September 19, the woods between Son and Best witnessed extremely fierce fighting between units of the German 59th Division and the 502nd Regiment of the US 101st Airborne Division, which was later supported by the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment and the British 15/19 Hussars. The Germans attempted, among other things, to recapture the drop and landing zones at Son and advanced from Boxtel and Best. They wanted to prevent the Americans and British from breaking through. Many soldiers were killed in these battles. Among them were Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole and Private Joe Mann. Both were awarded the highest American military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for their exceptional courage. Here's a listen to their stories.

A very famous bridge in Son and Bruegel certainly for the many cyclists who have this part in their route. You can actually continue cycling from Son on the Son side but, the other side has a wider cycle path which is more pleasant to use.
