The Burcht

Highlight • Castle

De Burcht was once built for protection during wartime. Today, the fortress on the hill in the middle of the city is a great viewpoint. The small climb up is worthwhile in any case, the all-round view of Leiden is fantastic.

View of the water

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you have a great view of the water and in the summer, when many people are there, you can watch the hustle and bustle. Numerous sailing and motor boats then drive across the lake.

Lijkermolen

Highlight • Monument

Along the route, you'll encounter a wide variety of polder windmills. These windmills were designed to pump water from low-lying areas and thus keep the land dry. The vast majority of the mills around the Kagerplassen lakes are characteristic hollow post mills with a cube-shaped upper house.
