Winter walking tour through Lisse

Centuries-old trees
From Lisse you immediately set course for the beautiful leafy paths and avenues of the Keukenhofbos. This varied and hilly forest area consists of centuries-old beech, oak and coniferous trees, in the middle of the bulb fields. Be sure to look up when you walk here, because long-eared owls often roost between the branches in the hollows of trees. Furthermore, woodpeckers, owls, tits and pigeons nest here. Blue herons make large nests in the tops of Scots pines in the spring.

Keukenduin of Teylingen Castle
In the forest you can still taste the 15th century history of Slot Teylingen . The forest that you now enjoy walking through formed the'kitchen dune\\\' of the castle. The proceeds from this dune forest, such as game, cattle, herbs and berries, were intended for the kitchen of Teylingen Castle. That immediately explains why this forest is called the Keukenhof Forest. You ultimately end your tour back in the center of Lisse.

Time to warm up
Walked tired with pink cheeks and cold hands? Then look for warmth and conviviality in one of the cozy restaurants in Lisse. Go for a cup of hot chocolate, a red wine, a tasty beer and a delicious snack as a reward for your journey. Who knows, you might stick around for a delicious winter dinner that suits the time of year.
