Day trip to the Island of Texel with a guide
+5 photos
Texel is full of grass- and heather-covered dunes and fields of brightly-blooming tulips, daffodils and lavender.Explore this Dutch island full of white sheep, seals, horses grazing in the mist and countless flocks of birds. Tiny villages with windmills, ice cream carts, and horse-drawn wagons, just like in a children's fairy tale.At the harbor, there is a boardwalk, fishing nets, old rowboats, shabby boats of hard-working fishermen and a bright red lighthouse. There, you can hear the heavy northern sea, rolling gently over the faint white sand, with its muffled but soothing rumble. It’s a place with no horizons, where the sky and sea fade into one another. There is no such thing as time here.
Highlights
- Find the marine animal shelter to meet earless and fur seals
- Visit a cheese factory or smokehouse, a windmill, a small brewery or a winery
