De Waal

Staying overnight in De Koog Texel and the surrounding area is no problem at all. In and around the village, apartment complexes, luxury holiday bungalows, campsites and snug holiday homes link up. However, it is wise to book in advance. That way, you can be sure to end up in accommodation that meets your demands for comfort and luxury. For example, our flats Juliana or Zeedistel. Beautiful flats on the dune at the edge of De Koog. Would you prefer a luxury family villa, equipped with every comfort, with the sea and entertainment within walking distance? Then the bungalows on the Orchismient are just what you are looking for.

In De Koog and at the beach resorts, parking is paid everywhere. At your accommodation, your car is of course free. If you want to use public transport, you have two options. Connexxion line 28 runs on the route ferry port ‘t Horntje, Den Burg to the centre of De Koog. The second transport service is Texelhopper. With more than 130 pick-up points, the small vans come to all villages and drive past all of Texel's attractions. If you give at least one hour's notice, you can also book the service by time and place.

Despite De Koog being a holiday village, where you will find plenty of entertainment, you are not deprived of nature. On the contrary, apartment complex Juliana, for example, is in the middle of the dunes and only 150 m from the village centre. Although the bungalows on the Orchismient are located in a bungalow district, it is completely embedded in the National Park De Duinen van Texel. From your bungalow, you can walk straight into the woods. To get a good idea of the work of nature, there is a 14.5-kilometre walking route Dunes of Texel around De Koog, downloadable at routeyou.

Ecomare, Eierland lighthouse, the Oudheidkamer, ‘t Walvisvaarderhuisje and Fort Oudeschild are the most famous sights on our largest Wadden Island. Also worth a visit are: the Texel Zoo, with its spectacular bird of prey show and special butterfly garden, Kaap Skil, the Beachcomber's Museum Flora and the War and Aviation Museum at Texel Airport. Depending on the time of year you visit the island, birdwatching in the month of May, the Texel Regatta in the month of June, mushroom walks with the forest ranger in October and lamb cuddling in winter/spring are also good reasons to stay overnight in Texel De Koog.
