June 6, 2024,🇳🇱 de verplichte rondrit over het eiland 🚴🚴‍♂️

Unfortunately, Komoot did not record the last 16 km. The entire route is 60 km. It's a shame, because the rest of the tour took us to the northernmost corner of Texel, to the lighthouse

May 12, 2023,Rund um Texel

This tour comes highly recommended. Everything is offered: great bike paths, along the North Sea, dune landscapes, wildlife, just fantastic. The best, cloudy at first, but then the longed-for sun and places to stop for refreshments

June 25, 2025,Texel Tag 3: Fahrradtour Gerritslanderdijkje - Den Hoorn - Fährhafen - an der Küste nach Oudeschild und De Cocksdorp - Zanddijk am Slufter -De Koog und zurück

Day 3 on Texel. After the second day literally fell through, we got back on our bikes today. It went so well that we almost did a full circuit. 😎

June 17, 2024,Texel Tag 16: Fahrradtour von Gerritslanderdijkje nach t‘ Horntje und an der Küste weiter bis De Cocksdorp mit standardmäßigem Besuch der Eisdiele “Labora“. Danach durch die Felder in Richtung Dünen und dort den Radweg zurück zum Ausgangspunkt

Actually the same tour as day 14 - only in beautiful weather, with the best sunshine 🌞. The island is so worth seeing that it doesn't matter if you drive the same route several times.

September 26, 2023,Ronde om Texel (mit dem Fahrrad)

Ronde om Texel,
is the largest catamaran event in the world. Several hundred catamarans try to sail around the island as quickly as possible. The start is at Paal 17 (south of De Koog), the race takes place every year.
The German word for Paal is very simple: Pfahl! The piles on Texel are important for the orientation of beach …
