This route takes you along the magical and historical legends of Haarlem.

Start at the Stationsplein, where you meet Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer, the brave woman who defended the city against the Spaniards. Then, walk to the Spaarne, where the giant Mercury once lost his foot in an attempt to be free. At the Grote or St. Bavo Church, you will hear the story of the chattering witch, who let the Damiaatjes ring.
Continue to Barteljorisstraat, where an adventurous mermaid cleaned the Spaarne and found treasures.
At Kleine Houtstraat, you will hear about a toothless crocodile that no longer ate children but just bit their bottoms.
At the Gedempte Oude Gracht, where a dragon, hiding in a secret tunnel, helped the city.

The walk ends at Proveniersplein, where the mosquitoes assist with the missing bells in the Haarlem coat of arms.

Each story offers a colorful view of the city full of mystery and adventure.
