From Leidschendam to Vlietland along The Vliet

The Vliet Canal, also known as the Rijn-Schiekanaal, is a historic waterway in the Netherlands that connects the cities of Leiden and Delft. It stretches for approximately 13 kilometers and has served as an important transportation route for centuries.
The canal's significance lies in its role as a vital link between the Old Rhine (Oude Rijn) and the Schie River (Schiekanaal). It allowed for the transportation of goods and passengers between the two cities, contributing to regional trade and economic growth.
Today, the Vliet Canal is not only a historical landmark but also a picturesque waterway, lined with scenic landscapes, charming villages, and historic buildings. It offers opportunities for leisure activities such as boating, cycling along its banks, and enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
