Cycling along the Vogelboulevard
Accompanied by an enthusiastic guide, you take a bike ride along the Vogelboulevard, the east side of Texel. The tour starts at Nature Center De Marel, from here you cycle via De Waal and the polder to the Vogelboulevard. You stop at the nature reserves Nieuw Buitenheim, Zandkes, Minkewaal and the Wagejot. At each stop, enough time is taken to view various birds such as breeding terns and waders. The continuous calling of the birds and the flights to the Wadden Sea, where the birds forage, provide a beautiful spectacle. Times: weekly on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM. For the current times, check the Natuurmonumenten website.
