Surprising polder land

The walking route starts at Landgoed de Olmenhorst, located on the Lisserweg in Lisserbroek.

The tastiest apples and pears grow on this orchard in Lisserbroek, which are grown with love and attention according to organic principles. The romantic Estate de Olmenhorst consists of no less than 30 hectares of apple and pear orchards. You will also find a cheese dairy, goat farm, various shops and workshops where cooking workshops can be followed for young and old.  

From Landgoed de Olmenhorst you can walk a bit through the beautiful polder. Via the Hoofdweg you walk up again towards Lisserbroek. This village is named after “het broeck van Lisse”, which means “the swamp of Lisse”. Lisserbroek is located on the edge of the Haarlemmermeer, in a place that has never been completely under water. This created a swampy area where the current village was founded after the reclamation. You can find a statue of a peat worker and the old small houses along the Ringvaart, as a reminder of this special history.
