Tree Walks in Rotterdam

Rotterdam has 2 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 1.4 km to 1.92 km, past 9 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.

Centrum south

6 trees · about 1.92 km · 23 min on foot

Begins at The Park Plane (London Plane (Platanus x acerifolia)) and ends at The Plane of Westersingel.

Centrum north

3 trees · about 1.4 km · 18 min on foot

Begins at The Memorial Yew of Eendrachtsplein (European Yew (Taxus baccata)) and ends at The Planes of Delftseplein.

All of these stand in Rotterdam, where we map 9 remarkable trees in total. Or walk somewhere else: Alicante · Alkmaar · Amersfoort · Amsterdam · Arnhem · Assen

Over 1,900 old trees worth the walk
