Your route starts at Eethuus Van het Wad. The vastness of the sea and beach, the beautiful forests and the large dune landscape make the Dunes of Texel National Park a beautiful area to visit. The nature reserve is 43 square kilometers in size and forms a sea of dunes as far as you can see across the entire west side of Texel. You will also come across beautiful windmills. Het Noorden is a polder mill just north of Oosterend. The De Hollandse Molen Foundation has restored the mill and made it operational again, so that it can now be put into operation on a voluntary basis. De Kemphaan is a meadow mill, built to flood a bird sanctuary. Also stop at the beautiful nature and sculpture garden De Wije Blick.

Eethuus Van het Wad is located right in the center of De Cocksdorp, where you can eat delicious pancakes. In addition to the 50 different pancakes, they also serve delicious fish, meat and vegetarian quiches. In the eatery they use local products as much as possible: the milk for the pancakes comes from the Labora ice cream farm, as does the ice cream. The eggs come from the De Oude Witte Engel farm in Den Burg, the meat comes from Texel animals and the fish comes from Texel cutters. A nice place to join during a nice bike ride or walk on Texel!

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were not only used to produce grain flour, but also to reclaim polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!
