Discover the Hoge Berg nature reserve on a covered wagon ride! Coachman Martin has lived here almost his entire life; he has known this unique area since 1959. During the 2.5-hour tour, you'll ride through one of the most beautiful parts of Texel, the Hoge Berg. This authentic tour takes you past old farms, beautiful country lanes, and through flocks of sheep. You'll visit areas of nature normally off-limits, with the most stunning views and vistas! Along the way, we'll stop for coffee/tea and treats. Martin grew up among horses. Back then, there were no tractors, and all the work was done with horses. At 'Kikkertsparadise Puur Texel', they have been breeding Fjord horses, among other animals, since 1959, and now they occasionally have foals. Martin and Ellen also own a sheep farm and can tell you all about it. Days: Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. Times: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM.

Mooi om zo een deel van Texel te kunnen zien!
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'.
