Flower Route South Holland 35 km

Lisse, Northwijk, Northwijkerhout

The Bollenstreek, a unique part of the Netherlands, is famous for its flower cultivation on the so-called geest grounds, which are located on the excavated sandy soils behind the dunes. This region is especially known for its beautiful flower fields in the spring, when the closed flower buds burst open in a spectacle of colours. The fields full of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths form a colourful scene that attracts many visitors every year. In addition, the Bollenstreek also offers a beautiful cycle route along these colourful fields, through green lanes and past historic estates. Cycling through this varied landscape, with its characteristic waterways and ditches and along the picturesque, cosy villages, you will experience the unique charm of this area.

But the Bollenstreek is not only worth a visit in spring. In summer and autumn, when the bulbs have been harvested, summer bloomers and perennials take over. This period provides a completely new, but equally impressive, view of the landscape. The fields transform again and show a diverse palette of colours and shapes, which ensures a constant change in the view. This cycle route will surprise you every season!

Even in winter, the Bollenstreek is attractive. While nature is at rest outside, beautiful flowers bloom in the greenhouses. These greenhouses are not only a showcase of horticultural innovation in the region, but also offer a warm and colorful escape from the cold winter days. Whether you are looking for the spectacular flower fields in spring, a relaxing bike ride in summer, or the blooming greenhouses in winter, the Bollenstreek around Lisse offers something special all year round. Come and experience the diversity and beauty of this unique region for yourself!
