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

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
