The tropical house offers many exotic plants and it is a pleasure to visit. Already in the outdoor area, it is worth talking to the students.

The Kermisdahl, the old river channel near Kleve, was known in the Middle Ages as "den alde Rijn," and the city wall surrounding Kleve along the waterway was called the "Rheinmauer." "Kermisdael" was initially a field name on the moraine ridge. The name gradually migrated down the hill and eventually came to refer to the body of water. The Kermisdahl is fed by surface water from the ridge and by the drainage ditch "Wetering," which begins near "Haus Horst." Within the city limits, the Kermisdahl changes its name and becomes the navigable Spoy Canal, which flows into the Rhine via the Old Rhine near Schenkenschanz.

Beautiful walk through wet meadows on the acceptably paved dike; the cattle are actually standing right in the middle, as you can see in the photos.
