Waterfall in Burgers Bush

Seventeen meters high waterfall in Burgers Bush, part of Burgers Zoo, situated northly to the city of Arnhem (From 'A bridge too far' or "Die Brücke von Arnheim") in the Netherlands.

Burgers Zoo is not an ordinary zoo. It is know for its so-called 'eco-displays': large exhibits which try to represent a specific part of nature (e.g. a tropical rainforest, a rock desert, a tropical reef) as accurately as possible. Animals live as freely as possible in these large exhibits.

 

Burgers Bush for instance, is a completely indoor tropical rainforest covering 1.5 hectares (150 x 100 meters) and 20 meters high, where visitors find thousands of tropical plants and animals, including manatees, capybaras, oriental small-clawed otters, caymans and many free living birds, smaller reptiles and amphibians. Also with a real waterfall in a "real" jungle.
