Easter on Texel

Want to spend Easter on Texel with the whole family? Texelvakanties has a very wide choice of very well catered accommodation for a wonderful Easter break on Texel.

Easter best locations
Search for Easter eggs together with the children during Easter on Texel. You can do so in the woods of Texel National Park De Duinen, near De Koog. Exactly where our accommodations are located. Idyllic flats at the edge of the woods, cosy houses in the old centre or rural bungalows in the outskirts and polders around the village. Because Texel is not that big, you never have to worry about being too far from the sea. Our holiday bungalows on Nieuwlanderweg, for example, are only 4 km from the beach. What's more, they are located in an oasis of peace and quiet against the Waalenburg nature reserve.

Comfort in all seasons
During Easter, Texel is still pretty chilly. After all, a light sea breeze blows over the Wadden island all year round. In the warm summer months, this is more than welcome, but in April the evenings are still quite chilly. It is nice then that you can light the fireplace or woodstove in your holiday accommodation and that the beds have washable duvets. In our flats, of course, you have heat from block heating or your own central heating. Of course, all our houses and villas have fully equipped kitchens and several sanitary facilities. For the specific facilities per accommodation, see the features.

Out and about together
The Easter holiday on Texel is an ideal period for getting out and about together. After a winter spent indoors, it is not only good for you and the children to feel the fresh sea breeze through your hair, but you cannot do the dog any greater pleasure than to take him along too. On Texel, they are allowed to walk everywhere, where you are allowed and must stay on the paths, so must they. Wherever there are grazing cattle and near breeding colonies, you should keep them on a lead, but otherwise dogs are allowed off the lead on Texel.

Parking and public transport
The days when you could leave your car anywhere without paying are long gone, not only on the mainland, but also on Texel. The cheapest way to park is with a Texel e-vignette. If you are thinking of coming by public transport, that is also very easy. From Den Helder train station, take the bus to the ferry. On Texel, you can continue with Texelopper, a minibus service that takes you to every village and past every place of interest, or the Connexxion regular service. The latter runs according to timetable, between 't Horntje, across Den Burg to the centre of De Koog.

Nature
During the Easter period, there is a completely different atmosphere than usual on the holiday island of Texel. It is pleasantly busy, all kinds of activities take place, such as an Easter egg hunt for the children and Easter markets, where you will find all kinds of nice things. Nature is also in full swing at this time. Trees and shrubs are in bloom or adorned with their first young greenery. The birds are mating and busy building nests, making the breeding colonies a hive of activity. For bird watchers and nature photographers, this is one of the most favourite periods to visit Texel.

Walking and cycling
Spending the Easter weekend on Texel is a great opportunity to enjoy the freshly awakening nature. As a cycling and hiking island par excellence, Texel is a good destination to work out the winter stiffness from your muscles, accompanied by the first rays of spring sunshine. From our flats and holiday homes, you can walk straight into the woods or dunes. That is especially nice if you are with small children or a dog. The cycle junction network on Texel counts no less than 140 km. Whichever way you turn the handlebars, there is always a beautiful route, which you can join right at the door.

Sightseeing
As well as plenty of things to do, there are plenty of sights on Texel. Beachcomber's Museum Flora, for example, or shipwreck museum Kaap Skil. Den Hoorn has a fully restored whaler's house from the 18th century and the church dating from 1425 is special enough to be seen once. Touring around Den Hoorn is fun, at Easter. At this time, the bulb fields are at their most beautiful. Texel's most famous landmark is undoubtedly Eierland lighthouse, near De Cocksdorp. There is a continuous exhibition in the stairwell and from the top you have a wonderful view over three seas.
