There is much to tell about the Utrechtsestraat, and a little bit further, you will have a great view over the South of Arnhem at the lookout point. The St. Elisabeths Hospital is one of the most iconic buildings in Arnhem, and it was of great importance during the Battle of Arnhem. Although much fighting took place around the former hospital, the hospital itself was spared due to its function.
