To the most beautiful locations  

Texel can best be discovered by foot or bicycle. In this way you'll find the most beautiful locations. And you'll have plenty of time to experience the sounds, scents and colours of the Texel countryside.

You can choose a route before you set out or find your way ‘en route'. There are many signposted footpaths. There is an extensive network of footpaths through the dunes and woods, with clearings where you'll sometimes be surprised by the heather in bloom.  The Hoge Burg is lovely with its turf walls. A beach walk is of course a must for visitors to Texel. The vast beach is ever changing. Ebb and flood, wind and water, sun and clouds provide a continuous show.

Footpaths through the meadows

New on the island are the footpaths through the meadows, such as the walks by Oosterend, though the Eierlandse polder and in the former dune areas near Den Hoorn. In this way you can walk to places which were formerly inaccessible and you'll see the countryside from a different perspective.
