Alphen aan den Rijn is a town and municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland, between Leiden and Utrecht. The town is situated on the banks of the river Oude Rijn (Old Rhine), where the river Gouwe branches off. The municipality had a population of 110,000 in 2017, and covers an area of 132.49 km2. The municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn also includes the communities of Aarlanderveen, Zwammerdam, and Boskoop. The town is located in what is called the `Green Heart` of the Netherlands, which is a somewhat less densely populated centre area of the Randstad. The name `Alphen` is probably derived from the name of the Roman fort Albaniana, meaning `settlement at the white water`. Its remains still lie underneath the city centre. We visited the Vogelpark Avifauna zoo in the summer of 2019.
