Ik maakte een Trage Tocht wandeling in Leiden: de Stadse Tocht via het Singelpark, Cronesteyn en Matilo. Deze wandelroute gaat via het historische stadscentrum van Leiden langs de singelgracht en via het buitengebied, park Cronesteyn en de reconstructie van het Romeinse legerkamp Matilo loop ik terug de stad in. Meer over deze Trage Tocht Leiden lees je in deze blog. 👇

This is at the rather new colony in Cronesteyn that is filling up nicely, spotted at least six nests with young!
