Respect our pride!
If you are standing at the edge of such a brightly coloured sea of flowers, you will probably be tempted to step out into the fields. However, we strongly urge you not to walk amidst the flowers. The flowers and bulbs are easily damaged. Even if you are very careful, you can bring plant diseases into the field with your shoes. And that means a considerable loss for the growers. So please take your best flower photo or selfie at the edge of the field!
Would you like to take a photo amidst the flowers? Then visit one of the locations specially set up for it.
