Park Brakkenstein

Park Brakkenstein extends across 38,484 square meters of unpaved ground with green spaces, lanes lined with beech trees, and curved pathways connecting existing lanes.

The estate, first documented in 1654, transformed in the 18th century with a star-shaped forest layout that remains partially visible in the current park design.

The park hosts the annual Music Meeting festival and functions as a botanical garden established by Catholic University of Nijmegen between 1969 and 1971.

The grounds include five sewage connections, four water points, and two power connections of 400 amps each, supporting events for up to 12,500 visitors.

A circle of large old beech trees stands in the northwest section, while horse chestnut trees line the westernmost lane, creating distinct botanical zones.
