Hiking across the tulip fields on the 21st of April 2024.
The unique to this world, Flowering Zijpe hike is held on Sunday, the 21st of April 2024.
- The day of hiking in the biggest uninterrupted flowerbulbarea in the world, in the Head of North-Holland.
Only on Sunday the 21st of April 2024, fifty landowners give their permission to walk across their fields. The families of the bulbfarmers take care of cookies and drinks along the road. They can also explain things about the bulbfields.
The distances are: 7.5 - 8 - 15 - 20 - 30 kilometers. The different distances bring the hiker through very diverse parks like "Het Wildrijk" (wild hyacinths) and complimentary the "Nollenland van Abbestede". The true hiker who wants to cross 40 kilometres, can walk through the preserve of "het Zwanenwater" on their own initiative. (Do keep in mind that walking across bulbland is harder than average!)
The start and finish locations will be: 8, 15 en 30 km:

The profit of the flowersales goes to a foundation or a club to give their money-box a "boost".
