You walk more on Texel! That is why VVV Texel is a proud partner of the Royal Dutch Walking Association (KWbN). To preserve Texel's nature, promote peace and quiet for the islanders and increase the enjoyment of tourists, KWbN and VVV Texel have been working together since autumn 2022. In this way, more and more people are discovering the diverse walking landscape of our beautiful island.

Great opportunity

Gijs Janssen, director of KWbN: "We want to get as many people as possible walking, because we are convinced and it has been proven that it leads to a happier and healthier life. One way to achieve this is to inspire people. When we heard that tourists often explore Texel by car and that a large part of the island is not even accessible by car, we saw a great opportunity. Together with VVV Texel, we are going to motivate our supporters to discover this beautiful island on foot.” A good example of this is the wandel.nl interview with forest ranger Mariette about walking in De Dennen.

KWbN: for a healthier Netherlands

KWbN is committed to a healthier, fitter and more energetic Netherlands by getting as many people as possible active through walking. Its programmes, platforms, products and services always support this mission, as do the revenues generated. The KWbN association is a non-profit organisation and (re)invests all its income in the promotion and development of the Dutch walking infrastructure. Via the inspiration platform wandel.nl, walkers can easily find walking routes that take them past the most beautiful, sustainable and nature-friendly places on Texel.
