The Park

 

The Park at the Euromast in Rotterdam was designed around 1850 by the well-known landscape architects father and son Zochers. These men could paint with nature; they designed the water features and the picturesque vistas of sun-drenched fields.

The park has a dark green hill garden, a French style garden for the Herenhuys and fields of deep blue flowering bells in the spring. More than a hundred years old, the monumental plane tree on the lawn along the Westzeedijk is the thickest tree in the city with a circumference of almost 6 meters.

 

The old trees fizzle with insects under the bark and bats in the crown. Owls are brooding in the hollows and the spotted woodpecker can be heard tapping the wood. Freshwater mussels live in the water and the blue heron hunts for fish.

 

And now it is just the start of the spring feeling, there are no leaves on the trees yet, but still it's possible to enjoy a walk in the park in early spring with you're dog and enjoy the beautiful sunrise light.
