Grebbeberg, Geological monument and hill in Rhenen, Netherlands.
The Grebbeberg rises 52 meters above sea level, forming the southeastern point of the Utrecht Hill Ridge with steep slopes facing the Lower Rhine.
During World War II in May 1940, Dutch soldiers defended this strategic position against German forces, leading to the establishment of a military cemetery.
The Grebbeberg War Cemetery serves as a national memorial site where ceremonies honor fallen soldiers, particularly during the annual May 4 Remembrance Day.
Visitors can access educational information panels and parking facilities at the designated coordinates while exploring the geological formations and natural landscape.
The hill contains traces of a seventh-century ring wall fortification with a dry moat called Heimenberg, indicating early settlement activities.
