Post House Vlieland

Highlight • Restaurant

Good food but pricey. Still, it is a good place to hit the brakes, as this is the only place where you can get something to eat or drink on West Vlieland. The Vliehors Express also departs from here.

Island number 4 and another round trip. Lots of protected landscapes and nature, East Vlieland is a nice little place with a sailing harbor like on the Adriatic.

Today we drove around Vlieland again, criss-crossing the paths through the dunes.
The weather was a bit mixed, so after a great breakfast in the Pannkokenhus we strolled along the Dorpstraat. Shopping is hardly possible by bike, but you can look around.
