The crown of the Netherlands

Every Wadden Island is a crown jewel. The unique combination of dunes, beach, forests and island culture makes every visit unforgettable. With this route you will experience the whole of Vlieland. From the harbor in the east you walk all the way to the sand plain in the west - and back again. On the northern side of the island you walk on the wide sandy beach where the waves of the North Sea roar: a wonderful and soothing sound. When the weather is nice it is tempting to have a picnic here or let the wind blow your thoughts away. More than 100 species of birds occur in the Kroon\\\'s Polders in the west (whether or not they are passing through). In the dunes you experience an almost mysterious tranquility when the wind rustles through the grass. Of course, the route also visits the characteristic village of Oost-Vlieland and the famous Posthuis. This original wooden building from the seventeenth century formed the link in the Amsterdam-Vlieland-Terschelling postal route between 1677 and 1927. This 35 kilometer long route starts and ends in the port. Less experienced hikers can partially shorten the figure-eight route.
