🌉 “Reflections of Time — The Charming Galgewater of Leiden”

#hellohalloween The Galgewater in Leiden, Netherlands, is one of the city’s most picturesque and historic waterways. Once an old harbor where ships arrived and craftsmen worked, it now feels like a scene from a Dutch fairytale. Lined with traditional brick houses, wooden boats, and old windmills, Galgewater beautifully captures the spirit of Leiden’s golden past. The name may sound dark — it once referred to the place where justice was served in medieval times — but today it is peaceful and full of charm. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing walk along the water, take a boat tour, or simply watch the reflections of colorful buildings dancing on the surface. The Molen de Put, a classic Dutch windmill, adds to the storybook scenery. At sunset, the view becomes magical, with soft golden light glowing across the canal. Galgewater is a timeless place where history, architecture, and calm beauty come together in perfect harmony.
