To the former camp site
The former camp site, where monuments like the National Westerbork Memorial are located, is situated almost 2 miles from the Memorial Center. Close to the site is Astron, the Dutch Institute for Radio Astronomy. Because of this, motorised vehicles and the use of electronic devices are prohibited in this area.

Busses leave every 20 minutes from the front of the museum.
