And where better to restore your senses than in different surroundings from the everyday? Let everything go and get blown away! Texel is the perfect winter destination, and we are happy to tell you why.
Colder days, darker nights
Winter days on Texel often begin with beautiful glistening dew or frosted landscapes. The mysterious haze that hangs over the fields is a wonder to behold. This makes it necessary to get up early. That might be a bit harder if you had stayed up late the night before to gaze at the stars. In the Winter, the nights on Texel are pitch black, so star gazing is highly recommended. Naturally, you can do this from your own window or from the beach, but there are also special evenings at Texel's Volkssterrenwacht when you can see the stars from Ecomare's observatory. You will learning everything you need to know about the stars.

Do whatever you feel like doing.
Winter activities on Texel
