Winter in Trompenburg
Another small secret in Rotterdam. Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum is a beautifully landscaped botanical garden with a large collection of trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and tubers. The garden is situated on the edge of the center of Rotterdam in the district Kralingen. The garden is a treasure trove for connoisseurs and plants a boon for hikers looking for calm in a busy city.
The emergence of Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum dates back to 1820. By merging a former Kralinger country estate, several plots of pasture and a number of adjacent gardens, the garden has grown into the present area of 8 hectares. Afterwards we went to Madame Massette for some hot chocolat, Glühwein and a piece of pie.
