    Tips

    De Slufter is the most famous nature reserve on Texel. Yet this area was created by human hands. In 1629 a so-called drift dike was built on this spot. With violent storm and high water, the water broke through the dike again and again, allowing the salty water to flow into the dune area. For centuries the people of Texel have tried to take the land from the sea, but that has never been entirely successful. It is now a protected area and you can see special flora and fauna here.

      Varied landscape and endless space! Salt marshes, dirt roads, dune landscape, beach and sea. It is hardly any better.
