View of Molen De Put

Highlight • Monument

The (rebuilt in 1987) standard mill that looks out over the Galgewater here was originally at another location in the city.
In 1619, owner Jan Janzsoon Put moved his mill to this location at the Galgewater. He hoped to profit more from the westerly wind here.

Morspoort, Leiden

Highlight • Monument

"Leiden had several city gates in the Middle Ages, with only the Morspoort and Zijlpoort preserved.The Morspoort is located in the western part of the city and was once not the most pleasant place to get to the city, as the bodies of the Fortunately, the Morspoort is now a magnificent monument with its striking dome and magnificent passageway.
Mors goes back to the word 'morass'. The western part of Leiden used to be a swampy pasture. When the Morspoort was completed in 1611, it was the most logical name for the gate. It was always staffed with guards and was part of a defensive wall that enclosed suffering. The dome of the Morspoort served for some time as a prison.

January 4, 2024,Leiden - Singelparkroute

I actually wanted to go for a long walk. Rain doubt doubt. So it was a day of culture and this famous Leiden tour. Tour through all the parks within the canal. Past various museums such as the Hortus and Wereldmuseum as it is now called. Past Rembrandt. Nice city tour.

The Leidse Singelpark route is varied and fun. During our visit to the Hortus we took a break from Komoot.

To test my new shoes, I went for a walk around Singelpark again. The round trip is about 6 km and the return trip takes me to 8 km, a nice distance for the new Meindls Activo sport. The shoes fit very well, but it's a pity that the double-folded sock feeling under my right foot does not diminish. Wondering …

To compensate for the missed kilometers of the not run stage of the Roman Limespad, a Singelpark run. This round of Leidse Singel is now famous and infamous in the region.

Being a tourist in your own city today. Took too many beautiful photos to make a choice. A detour past the Hortus Botanicus yields beautiful pictures. It is alternately …
