“There on the banks of the Waal, lies the old Imperial City.” Nijmegen was formed by the Waal River and the areas around it. But what kind of influence does such a landscape have on a city? And what can all be found in the nature around Nijmegen?
Ecologist Constant Swinkels tells in the audio tour on the Stevens' Skywalk what you see when you look around and how nature is interwoven through our city.
Choose number 3 on the audiotour.
The audio tour can be listened to in both English and Dutch.
