WaddenWandelen is a network of trails which run over all Wadden islands. You hop the mudflats with ferries and walk across the islands, from forests to beaches and of course dunes. The entire network is approximately 1,200 kilometers of hiking trails. This is the 5th stage of the trails on the island of Texel. You walk from De Koog to De Zandkes over the Burgerdijkje and past the village of De Waal. The walk takes you through the meadows where the Texelaars, an old Dutch sheep breed, graze...

Segment 2 of the WaddenWandelen regional path runs through the most exceptional nature reserve on Texel, De Slufter. WaddenWandelen is a 275-kilometer-long regional path across the Wadden Islands. The regional path hops from island to island and leads to the most exceptional pieces of nature and history of the Wadden Islands. Each island has 2 or 3 segments, except Texel, which has 7. The routes are marked and a walking guide is available. This is the 2nd segment of WaddenWandelen on Texel....

Texel is an ideal place for beautiful cycling routes. The paths are (semi-)paved and always good to cycle on while you have spectacular views of the sea on one side and the dunes on the other. This substantial route takes you across the entire island of Texel, starting in De Koog. It's a long route, but with plenty of places to stop along the way. This route also makes some foothills to sights and viewpoints.

A leisurely bike ride on Texel, from De Koog to the lighthouse. The route leads to the lighthouse on the edge of the dunes. You drive along the coast to De Cocksdorp. A bit through the countryside follows, and at the village of De Waal you make a round around the Waalenburg nature reserve. From here you are quickly back at the starting point. The route is also good as a running route.
