Hartlijn

With the Hartlijn, a joint project of the municipality of Leiden and Leiden University, the infrastructure of the park will be significantly improved. In March 2022, the first stones were laid of this long path over the central axis of the LBSP. 

The Hartlijn has now been completed almost everywhere. The final stretch, running from the College Hall building to the A44, will be finished in 2027.

Reflecting the shared ambition for a green, healthy and safe park, cyclists and pedestrians have priority over other traffic along the Hartlijn. To make this clear, the footpath has been given a yellow surface. The cycle path will also have a striking, colourful appearance. Alongside the route runs an impressive planting strip with 21 species of medicinal officinales, a reference to the life science activities on the park.

Walkers along the route encounter digital information pillars at several points. These display regularly updated background information and news about developments across the park.
