Wandering in Haarlem - Nice route. I live near Haarlem but with this route you get back to places I didn't find before. The route is wheelchair accessible except for 1 point, where you have to go down a staircase and no alternative is given to get to the point where there is a playground via another route. So when you are out with young children as a wheelchairer, it is frustrating.
