Texel
Texel is famous for its fantastic beaches and beautiful natural landscapes. But it has much more to offer. Such as seven villages (each one as pretty as a picture) and unique natural scenery. In addition to many thousands of sheep, Texel’s symbol is the beautiful lighthouse on its northern tip.
Ecomare is where you will learn all there is to know about the Wadden Sea, North Sea, emergence of Texel and the National Park “Texel Dunes”. The main attraction of Ecomare, however, are its many sea animals.
Nature reserve “The Slufter” is the only area in the Netherlands to which the North Sea is allowed unhindered access. After a storm surge the entire lagoon is underwater. As a result the Slufter evolved into a unique natural landscape with small creeks and salt marshes filled with sea lavender’s purple blooms.
The island’s residents also make chocolate, ice cream and a well-known herbal liqueur called “Juffertje”(little beachcomber).
