Winter Walk
The days right before the holidays are often hectic! Shopping for gifts, the whole family dropping by, dinner after dinner, and cheerful lights and candles everywhere. That can get a bit much. Time to get outside for a bit! You can enjoy lovely walks in and around Leeuwarden. Take a stroll through the beautiful Rengerspark, or walk on to the Leeuwarder Bos afterwards. Which route will you take?
