The area on the west side of Texel has dunes, wet dune valleys, salt marshes and moors. There is a rich flora and fauna with many rare plant species and protected bird species, which you can see very closely in nature reserve De Nederlanden. A beautiful walking route runs through the area and you can also cycle on the broad path that continues to the unique nature reserve De Slufter. Detached holiday home Villa Duinzicht is situated opposite the De Nederlanden dune area and offers a view of the pasture with a horse and sheep. Behind the dune area you will find the fantastic North Sea beach for which the holiday island is known. For beach supplies, clothing and home accessories you can go to the cozy village center of seaside resort De Koog. After shopping you can relax on one of the many terraces.
