Léon in De Tuinen van Appeltern

Are you a garden lover? Interested in landscape architecture? The place, which has to get on your 'TO SEE' list is De Tuinen van Appeltern!

An amazing 15 - hectare park consists of around 200 smaller gardens. Each one of them has its own, unique style. They are full of colorful plants, stylish outdoor furniture and ingenious, surprising garden art. Léon's favorite: rotten shoes as a symbol of an 'old employee' who got retired.

 Tips from Léon:
- If you like cycling, make a lovely day trip by renting a bike at the Tiel train station. Cycle from there to the ferry, which will take you to the other side of the canal. From there you can follow a picturesque bike route all the way to the garden
- If you don't want to cycle, garden is easy reachable by car
- Léon doesn't recommend  trips by public transport, he did it once and it took him 6 hours, 2 trains, 2 buses, a boat and hitchhiking to get there!
