About
Korte feiten: Riverfront paths hug the water, offering close-up views of paddlers, herons, and smooth stone ledges perfect for sitting and watching the sky. Sprawling lawns, a colorful playground, and regular weekend events mean you’ll often find families, picnickers, and dogs gathered under mature shade trees.
Hoogtepunten: Golden light paints the river copper near dusk, the air filling with the sweet-sour scent of cut grass and the rhythmic click of dozens of tree swallows returning to reed beds. A quirky neighborhood ritual sees locals leaving painted stones and handwritten notes along a main path, more than 50 of those tiny artworks appeared last summer, turning the walk into an impromptu community gallery.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes, trails are a mix of paved paths and compacted dirt.
- Bring binoculars for birdwatching along the river, especially during migration seasons.
- Arrive early on weekends to find parking and enjoy quieter paths.
- Take photos from the river edge or the main paved path to capture reflections and sunsets.
