Story · De Grachtwacht
You're standing by the Marebrug, a bridge in Leiden. Look at the little bridge keeper's house on the bridge. Its windows aren't filled with curtains, but with rubbish. That's the work of De Grachtwacht, the Canal Guard, a group of local people who want to keep Leiden's canals clean.
