Leiden erfgoedwandeling: sleutels, pennen en belegbrood, Zelfgeleide app-wandeling

About this experience

Het verhaal van Leiden vlecht overleving en faam: een middeleeuwse ringmuur op een motte boven twee Rijntakken, een universiteit gesticht in 1575 als eer na het Spaanse beleg, pelgrimdrukkers naast een gotische kerk, plantkunde in een ommuurde tuin, lakenrijkdom omgezet in verf, en stadspoorten die tonen hoe de Gouden Eeuw naar buiten groeide. Deze twaalf stops (~2,4 km, alle etappes onder 700 meter) verbinden de Burcht, Hooglandse en Pieterskerk, burgerlijke renaissancesteen op het Stadhuisplein, academische gevels aan het Rapenburg, Hortus-verzamelaars, de herinnering aan het moeras bij de Morspoort, Rembrandts geboortesteeg, kunst in de voormalige lakenhal, het belegverhaal rond Van der Werf, en de oostelijke skyline van de Zijlpoort, één boog van sleutels der vrijheid naar inkt en kleur die de naam Leiden de wereld in stuurden.
