The Wilhelmina Bridge in 's-Hertogenbosch is much more than just a passage over the Dommel River. Since 1954, this distinctive bridge has stood as a proud gateway between the city center, Uilenburg, and Het Zand. But if you look closely, you'll discover that the bridge itself tells a story: the pillars are adorned with beautiful reliefs that capture the history of 's-Hertogenbosch in stone—from the city's founding in 1185 to its liberation in 1944. A veritable comic book in stone, passed by hundreds of people every day without noticing!

Along the Parklaan, against and hanging over the city wall, stands a Weichsel tree. That is the Dutch name for the tree that is called Weichselbaum in German. It is related to the Sour cherry. At the time - around 1900 - this tree grew together with the elms that stood along the Parklaan. A grid has been placed around the base of the tree, which serves for optimal ventilation and ensures that the subsoil does not become compacted. The text Weichsel tree on it also has an educational value. The design comes from the Oslo agency with Martien van Osch. Source: bastionoranje.nl

The weichsel tree belongs to the genus of prunuses. It is a tree species that is rare here. The tree originates from the Middle East and later spread to Central and Southern Europe. Here you only see it occasionally as a planted tree and it seems to occur sporadically in dune areas. In Den Bosch, however, there is a beautiful old specimen of this tree. It was pointed out to me by Sjef v. d. Westelaken, who professionally sails his boat along the rampart of the city more often. He is then looking for muskrats. The whimsical shape of the tree intrigued him and he wondered if I could tell you more about it. So I went to take a look. And it must be said it is a very beautifully shaped tree. The Weichsel tree seems to have been planted around 1900. A large iron plate has been placed around the foot of the tree to prevent the compaction of the soil. The nice thing is that the species name of this tree is cut out in this plate. The plate is made after a design by Martien van Osch. Also very nice is the raised edge of the quay wall that was built during a renovation in 2005. There used to be a hedge here. By placing the masonry on thin steel legs, this suggests the image of the vanished hedge. The Weichselboom hangs very crooked and almost touches the quay wall.
