The Lindengracht was filled up with soil in 1895. In this very poor neighborhood a game called 'Pull the eel' (off a rope) was a very popular form of people's entertainment. The police raided the streets in 1886 due to this entertainment, intensive riots broke loose. The people raised barricades and bridges and only after a very violent interference by the army (26 deaths as a result) the mayhem subsided.
Traverse the Lindengracht and turn in to the 3e Goudsbloemdwarsstraat. At the end of the street turn left and cycle in to the Goudsbloemstraat until you have reached the Lijnbaansgracht. Follow this street by turning right and take a right in to the Willemsstraat.
