Ancient 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 doze between the branches in the hollows of trees. Woodpeckers, owls, tits and pigeons also nest here. Great blue herons make large nests in the tops of the Scots pines in spring.
