De Wonderlijke Klim

Reviewed By helo85 - Den Bosch, The Netherlands

The church organised this climb to raise money for repairs. It was a amazing idea. We went up by the stairs and had a wonderful view on the city. We could also admire the art work that is the cathedral. I hope they will organise this again.

The Citadel is a pentagonal entrenchment with bastions, constructed in 1637 in the northern corner of 's-Hertogenbosch. The walls built around the redoubt towered some 38 feet above the water surrounding the Citadel. The entrenchment served not only to defend the city, but also to control the city itself, which after the famous siege of 1629 to a considerable extent had remained pro-Spanish.

Bastionder

Once upon a time Den Bosch boasted over four miles of defensive walls. Wind mills, cannons and sturdy towers were all part and parcel of these historic bastions. Despite the fact that most of them have disappeared, the city is still proud of its architectural and military past. One of the best spots to see and experience this rich history is the Bastionder where you can see a lovely city park with possibly the best view of Den Bosch over the Bossche Broek. The last part of the fortifications were added to the fortress (Bastion Oranje) in 1634. In the spring thousands of crocuses are in bloom, in summer you can have a picnic underneath its ancient trees and in the autumn this rustic oasis is a great place for a walk. The underground information centre offers visitors information about the military history of the city across the centuries.
