Hiking
Once a year, the flower growers open their fragile land to the curious public and tell them proudly about their passion. This unique walking tour brings you very close to the flower fields.
Only Sunday, April 29, 2012 fifty landowners will give permission to cross their fields on foot. Area heads are appointed and the families of the bulb growers provide cakes and drinks along the route. They can also provide the necessary explanations about the bulb cultivation.
Distances: 7½, 15, 20 and 30 kilometers. The different distances take the walkers through various sites and villages. An additional walk (40 km) is available through Zwanenwater (Swan Lake) which is a nature reserve
