The Haarlemmerhout in Summer. It is said that Napoleon's soldiers carved their initials in these trees.

The Haarlemmerhout is the oldest public park of the Netherlands. It lies on the south side of Haarlem, on the same old sandy sea wall that is shared by the public park Haagse Bos in The Hague and the Alkmaarderhout in Alkmaar.
