Fishing for rubbish - Let's Bloomit

Sail along with 'De Grachtwacht' through Leiden, fish out rubbish and receive a nice reward.

Rubbish in the canals does not belong there, of course. 'De Grachtwacht' is committed to cleaner waters in Leiden – and with Let's Bloomit, Love Leiden, you can join in.

This campaign is part of Let's Bloomit. Leave the city even more beautiful after your visit than it was before you arrived. That way, we can make Leiden bloom for everyone.
