If you leave the park at the rear entrance, in the direction of Amsteldijk, you may see the course of the river, a flat countryside landscape on another bank and you can walk to <strong>a large, monumental Rieker windmill dating from 1636.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just behind the windmill is a small bronze monument to Rembrandt, who used to walk here from Amsterdam along the river and make landscape drawings. Some of these views of the Amstel River can be found in his prints.<\/p>\n<p>You can decide to walk further along the river in a southerly direction, after about 30 minutes, <strong>you'll reach a small village called Oudekerk.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This village is well worth a visit, especially if you've never been to the Amsterdam area. Oudekerk will give you a good idea of what the Dutch province is like.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc145827546\"><\/a><strong>Installation of special gardens at Amstelpark<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Despite a huge loss of approximately 30 percent of the largest trees to disease ten years ago, the Amstelpark remains a magnificent park in all its parts preserved as a botanical garden.<\/p>\n<p>You'll also find :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Several meticulously tended gardens<\/li>\n<li>A rhododendron valley with 139 plant species<\/li>\n<li>The Rosarium<\/li>\n<li>A Belgian cloister garden<\/li>\n<li>A butterfly garden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, not much remains of the Japanese garden.

At the main entrance, you'll see the station of a small train that runs through the park all summer long.<\/p>\n<p>Behind the station, a small concrete bridge leads to a labyrinth. The hedge maze is quite long (380 meters), <strong>but it's not too difficult and it's great fun for kids.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Further to the left of the main entrance, you'll find other attractions for children, including a farm with sheep and goats, and the chance to take a pony ride.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc145827548\"><\/a><strong>Enjoy a quiet place<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Amstelpark is a large park with many attractions.
