Park Wijde Aa walking route

You can take beautiful walks from Park Wijde Aa. This route takes you through the polder, Roelofarendsveen and along the Braassemermeer.

Tulips
The first part of the route takes you on a car-free road through the polder. Whether you look at the roads, ditches and grassland plots: the lines in the landscape are all straight. Here you can walk in the wind, so that you immediately refresh, also in your head. Further on you walk onto the Floraweg. An appropriate name, because the area around Roelofarendsveen is the tulip center of the Netherlands: a quarter of all Dutch tulips come from here!

Roelofarendsveen
If you pass the water tower from 1932 in Roelofarendsveen, you will see that several large images of tulips were painted on it (in 1986). At junction 18 you can grab a bench to enjoy the view over the Braassemermeer. Further on you will pass the Sluis Roelofarendsveen, a lock from 1892. What a nice spot! The walking path then leads you along the Paddegat and the Wijde Aa, an ancient peat stream.
