Oudeschild, Texel’s charming fishing harbour, is a must-visit for history lovers and seaside explorers. Located by the Wadden Sea dyke, the village offers a glimpse into the island's maritime past. Don’t miss the Traanroeier windmill and the nearby Maritime and Beachcombers Museum, showcasing fascinating beachcombing finds. In the 17th century, Dutch East India Company ships once anchored near Oudeschild, waiting for favorable winds.

For a scenic detour, visit the nearby Hoge Berg, a 15-meter hill, and the Russian cemetery, where Georgians who perished in the 1945 uprising are laid to rest.
