Morsweg
Photograph of the Morsweg in Leiden. The Morsweg is the street that functions as the central vein of the Transvaal neighborhood, running from the Morspoort, across the train tracks, all the way to the Dokter Lelylaan.
The large windows in many houses reveal that the Morsweg used to be a street full of shops.
