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 first part, along the Zernikedreef, the Trambaan and the Sylviusweg, is now ready and in full use. The construction of the second part, after the Einsteinweg, will start after the summer of 2023. The part of the Hartlijn in the Oegstgeester part of the park is finished in the summer of 2023. 

Based on the shared desire for a green, healthy and safe park, cyclists and pedestrians on the Hartlijn have priority over other traffic. To emphasize this, the path has a striking, colorful appearance. It is also accompanied by an impressive plant strip with 21 species of medicinal officinales.

Cycling or walking along the Heartline becomes even more captivating due to the digital information pillars situated at various points along the path. These pillars feature constantly changing background information and updates about all the developments in the park, as well as portraits of life science entrepreneurs and announcements of events.
