The only old gate in the city that is left 'in tackt'. It was heavily damaged during the Battle of Arnhem but was rebuild after ww2. A true gem. Entrance to this Sable Gate is not possible, but it is definitely woth to explore the outside of the gate and take some photos.

You will just pass by this gate alonf the route. If you wish to explore it some more, please do so!
