Tips from the host

Texel's beautiful nature island offers summer and winter a diversity of kilometers of walking and cycling paths along nature reserves dunes, water and forest areas. Highly recommended for the whole family is “Landgoed De Bonte Belevenis” near the picturesque village of Den Hoorn. Various crafts are located in two atmospheric barns, such as: a soap factory, a beer brewery, a paper maker, a bakery, a candle factory and a distillery. The craftsmen demonstrate how the different products are made. Guided tours take place a few times a day in the brewery and distillery where they explain in a fun way how beers, whiskey, liqueurs and herb bitters are made. Outside you can enjoy the farm animals, the playground, the picnic meadow, the herb and vegetable garden. In the cozy tearoom it is possible to enjoy, among other things, homemade honest products from the own bakery and enjoy the unique view. In short, you will not get bored on Texel!
