SP4, Texelpad: Around Texel Island, 80 km

Texel is the largest island of the Netherlands. You can only get there by ferry.

The island has a unique atmosphere. On the one hand, it feels a bit like the mainland: an open country with sheep and cows where the wind has free play.

The sea is present everywhere, and you can enjoy it daily. On the island's northern side is the turbulent North Sea. On the other side is the quiet and bird rich Waddenzee.

The path – created by Stichting Wandelnet and marked yellow-red - frequents villages and nature reserves, and is therefore the best chance to get to know Texel. There are plenty of accommodation options, but in high season the island may be fully booked, and a tent will be welcome.
