Bossche Broek
Het Bossche Broek
A wetland meadow hugging the southern city walls, crisscrossed by boardwalks and cycle paths. It's a great place outside town to watch sunsets and birds.
The Bossche Broek is a low-lying wetland outside the city walls. Historically, it was the 'water line' the fortress could flood for defense. Today it is a nature reserve where herds of Highland cattle graze and many kinds of waterbirds can be seen. Footpaths and cycle paths run along the foot of the walls, and the view back toward the walls and cathedral tower is lovely, especially at sunset. Entry is free. You can descend from the walls near Bastion Oranje to reach it. A walk or bike ride around the area takes about 1 hour.
