's-Hertogenbosch, North Brabant, Netherlands
city calm 2025 pack 1

Windy ambiance inner city canal Vughterstroom (Binnendieze) river in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Recorded with hanging microphones.

My microphones are suspended from a bridge just above the water where electric-powered tourist boats sail. It is a bit windy and that is audible in the foliage.
This is a quiet part of the touristy old inner city of 's-Hertogenbosch.

#0:00 Men tell each other about the history of the city and the old Dutch regions around the sixteenth century.
#4:21 Meanwhile, a carillon plays a friendly tune. #5:11 A tourist boat passes by. The skipper and also guide tells about the city around the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
#7:22 The men want to know what I am doing and I joke that I am from the interior security service.
#7:54 Another tourist boat approaches. This guide too, like the previous one, talks about the city around the same time, but talks more about the Duke. The name of the city of 's-Hertogenbosch can be explained as the city of the duke or duke city.
#15:43 Some visitors to the city pass by. They do a scavenger hunt that helps you discover the old city. They are talking about the plaque of Hein Bergé. Hein Bergé was and is inseparable from the historic city center of 's-Hertogenbosch. He ensured in the 1970s that these beautiful city rivers remained managed and were not filled in.
#19:16 Several bells sound again in the distance.
#21:50 A bicycle rattles by.
#23:40 Another boat. He too talks about the Duke of Brabant. Meanwhile, there are also talking people walking down the street.
#28:05 High heels run resonantly down the street.
#28:58 A man and a woman who seem to know each other have a conversation in the street. and the next electric boat, but now without tourists.
#34:15 The carillon plays another quiet tune in the wind for a while and the clock strikes two o'clock. This is not because jet is two o'clock, but to indicate that half an hour is before two o'clock. That's how ordinary people knew early on what time it was approximately. After all, they had no clock or watch.
#37:03 And again people walk the same quest and they too find the plaque.
