Just heard that Mahler and Sigmund Freud met for the first and only time in Leyden (1910), the town of my Alma Mater, and went for a four-hour walk. I am sure there were more canals there at that time than there are now as many have since been filled in. Neverthelees they are thinking about restoring them again, as Leyden is no town for cars anyway and the canals would add greatly to the attraction of Leyden. Technically, as far as water management is concerned, it would also be much better. I bet at that time the canals in Leyden were much more smelly though.
Leyden is in the centre of attention this week before Christmas, as some big national charity event takes place here.
