Wael & Burg (Waalenburgerdijkje) picknicken

The Waalenburgerdijkje is located along De Waal. From this dike - which was once built because De Waal used to be by the sea - you have beautiful views and you will find several places to stop for a picnic on the way.

Museum Waelstee

Museum Waelstee is located in De Waal. In the museum you will see various authentic farm wagons, carriages and old agricultural machines that have served on Texel. In the first instance, the museum was set up with an emphasis on the agricultural history of Texel. Over the years it has grown into a museum that gives a versatile picture of Texel in the past.

Alles over het museum

There may not be a lot to do in De Waal, it is definitely worth walking through quietly to take in the beauty of the village.

Stay in De Koog

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.

Holiday for human and animal

A Texel holiday De Koog means fun for people and animals. Not only is there plenty to do on the beach, in the woods and in the seaside resort of De Koog, our accommodation is also designed to suit every individual. For example, the family villas are surrounded by spacious lawns, spacious enough for a ball game with the children or a romp with the dog. Some of our holiday bungalows even have a playground equipment in the garden and several terraces at your disposal.

Parking and public transport

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.

Nature near De Koog

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.

Walking and cycling

De Koog is a great base for beautiful cycling trips and walks. The village is located almost centrally on the island and is surrounded by the woods of the National Park De Duinen van Texel. The protected nature reserve has a whole network of short and longer walking routes, cycle paths and mountain bike trails. In the walking area de Seeting, the stretch between De Koog and Ecomare, the footpaths are also suitable for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. To introduce visitors to the hidden corners of Texel, Staatsbosbeheer regularly organises interesting excursions. Not only for the able-bodied, but also for people with disabilities. Ask at the reception desk of Ecomare.

Sightseeing

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.

Guests about Texelvakanties

Spent a week in apartment Juliana 172. Upon entering we immediately became happy with the SCHONE and renovated apartment. We regularly come across it differently. Owner appreciates his guests by renting out his apartment in top condition. The reception was also good at the reception. We will definitely be back in this apartment complex.

Mario Spierings

I would actually go to Texel for a long weekend, but unfortunately I couldn't let this go on because of Corona. Texel holidays came with a great alternative to continue our holiday at a different time. Texel holidays have acted quickly and professionally and I have certainly been helped well.

Lisa van Langenberg

A well-organized company for the rental of a stay on Texel. We have been booking there for many years and are always perfectly fine!

We spent a very nice holiday on Texel in the apartment hotel "Prinses Juliana". The apartment hotel is located in "De Koog". One of the best locations on Texel with great views of the beach, the dunes and the village and everything within walking distance. Ulla and Wolfgang from Nordhorn are very happy to come back.

Wolfgang Holtgrave

Very professional team that responds to the wishes of the guests even in difficult times . The apartments are in top condition and the equipment leaves nothing to be desired. Especially for dog owners, both the apartment house Juliana and the island is a great holiday destination.

Klaus Hille

Nice and helpful team 'the accommodations are one of the most beautiful on the whole island!

Jan Gleibs

The booking, arrival and processing of the reservation by the staff was fantastic. The bungalow Vredelust 57 had everything and more we needed for our holiday. We loved the large garden - an absolute plus for families with children and dogs! We would come back any time.

Manuela Biedenkopf

From booking to completion a very good service.Advance information, as well as inquiries, everything was answered well and promptly. The house was in good condition and there was everything you need for a holiday. Not cheap but definitely recommended for a family of 10 people value.

Super apartment, great view over land and sea. Top beds that you can sleep well on, and no sagging mattresses. Shops close by, beach close by really great. And not to forget the staff of the apartment complex are very friendly.
