| elfstegentochtleiden.nl | Stichting Elfstegentocht | The website offers information about the potential return of the ice skating tour in Leiden, which was last held in 1997. In February 2012, the board of the Elfstegentocht Foundation investigated the possibility of organizing an ice skating tour, with a start time of 11:00 am and a route of 8 kilometers. Despite the fact that the ice was too thin in 2012 to hold the tour, there is still hope for future editions, requiring a minimum ice thickness of 12 centimeters. | Seasonal & Weather → Winter Events 131 | ice 178 skating 314 board 3438 | South-Holland → Leiden 7089 |
