Cycle Path Through the Forest in Duinen van Texel

Highlight • Cycleway

Perfectly developed route. Also great for escaping the north wind on Texel 😉

Cycle path through the Dunes of Texel

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Although it says that you may not be allowed to ride there, there are official bike paths there, I think Komoot is referring to the dunes. Of course you're not …

All of the island's e-bikes were gathered in Oudeschild today. Herd instinct?

Showing Translation

There are things that don't exist...
This route is called that because the area that is being bypassed is shaped like an egg (!?) and is therefore called Eijerland.


Pure relaxation in the best sunny weather. Pure space, at least on the east side. You can ride to the left or right of the dike, right by the water...

Along the east coast in beautiful weather with a tailwind.🌬🌞.
The west coast had more varied scenery but with a strong headwind and some rain. Still a great day

Showing Translation

The tour operator planned the two routes slightly differently, without the northern part of Texel. In addition, Tanja discovered various trails here. So - route changed, had some fun on the way.. unfortunately also with the wind, which demanded everything from us in parts. The weather was also very good.

Showing Translation

The weather was better again and we had time.
The suggested route was adjusted a bit so that we can also have fun on the trails (it just doesn't work without it 😉), we didn't want to miss the lighthouse either, so then we'll drive around the entire island 😜🫣
The wind tested us a lot today 🤔

Beautiful island tour with visits to the villages of Oosterend, Oudeschild, Den Burg and De Koog. Finally, there was a dip in the North Sea waves at Strandslag Paal 28.

If the weather was nice, it would have been a great tour, but today it was more like cycling to get used to it, from De Cocksdorp onwards it was just rain, although the wind was not strong today

Showing Translation

Once around the 🏝️ island. Very pretty. Just Texel.
However, Koomot has not always recorded. The tour is much longer than koomot states. It might be easier for one or the other with an e-bike, especially when there is a lot of wind
