Railway Embankment of the Duits Lijntje | Nature Garden ’t Bundertje

It’s spring, or summer. Butterflies flutter toward tasty food plants like hemp-agrimony and cuckooflower. Bats skim through the dusky evening glow along a row of trees. Bees and wasps buzz loudly between the tracks and the embankment. Along the very spot where you're standing now, millions of train passengers once rumbled by.
Today, you’ll mostly find plants and animals here—on the railway embankment and in the nature garden ’t Bundertje. The goats in the garden bring to mind German Emperor Wilhelm II, who once passed through here by train. He traveled with a private carriage—and an extra wagon just for his goats. That way, the fresh milk he loved was always within reach.
