Bulb walk 't Zand

Pink, purple, yellow, red and blue bulbs: you can see them on this beautiful bulb walk at't Zand, in North Holland. Also a beautiful area outside of spring!

Flour mill
Your walking route today starts at Korenmolen Zeeman't Zand. This was built in Leiden in 1631 as a fulling mill for the textile industry, but ended its career in Leiden as a sawmill. In 1865 the mill was moved to't Zand, where it was given another function: as a flour mill. Drink a cup of coffee (with cake!) and then put on your walking shoes for a nice walk around't Zand.

Bulb fields
Just outside the village you will find endless bulb fields. Every spring they transform the landscape into one large Mondrian painting - although you also see other colors here than just the primary ones. Just before you return to your starting point, walk into the seventeenth-century village't Zand, over a floating raft bridge. Typically North Holland! You first walk a bit along the Canal, a wide waterway, and then cross through the village back to where you started.
