Kikkertsparadise Puur Texel
In the beautiful Hoge Berg area you will find 'Puur Texel' (formerly Kikkertsparadise), the starting point for a covered wagon trip across the oldest part of Texel. Unique area Discover this beautiful area from the covered wagon, pulled by Fjord horses. A trip with the covered wagon offers you the opportunity to discover this sheep area from a different side. The tour goes over country roads, through meadows and even through areas where you are normally not allowed to go. Especially during the spring, when the lambs are born, the Hoge Berg area is beautiful. If you are an experienced rider, it is possible to ride behind the covered wagon on the back of a Fjord horse. The trip takes 2.5 hours and on the way there is time for coffee or tea with something sweet. Groups Do you have a party or group outing planned? It is also possible to make a trip with the covered wagon of 'Puur Texel'.
