Oudeschild

Museum Kaap Skil

To get acquainted with the interesting maritime past of Texel (Oudeschild in particular) you can visit the Cape Skil museum. Here you see fishing houses from the past, old crafts are shown such as fishing smoking, rope hitting and iron forging. You will learn everything about the VOC and heroes such as Michiel de Ruyter, who was once a child at home in Oudeschild. You will also see and learn a lot about the ancient Texel tradition of beachcombing.

Everything about the museum

Shrimp fishing

Oudeschild is still home to the fishing fleet. Around the weekend, the harbor is full of cutters (about thirty pieces). To even experience how things are on a cutter, you can use shrimp fishing on the TX10 or TX20. The shrimps caught are cooked on board. Just feast! You also get a bag for the home. You won't get it anywhere!

Eating fish by De Oude Vismarkt

Oudeschild is of course the best place on Texel to eat a fresh fish. There are various options for this. The Old Fish Market is open all year round. Various fish specialties are also served in the restaurants.

Fish restaurant 't Pakhuus

As far as fish specialties are concerned, Visrestaurant 't Pakhuus is a very nice restaurant in a unique location. It is not without reason that this restaurant regularly wins prizes! It is right next to the quay. A number of times a year the water rises so high that the quay floods. You cannot leave ‘ t Pakhuus, so you can enjoy the special High Water Dinner all evening. When the water has subsided, you can return home without wet feet.

Stay in De Koog

Spending the night in De Koog Texel and the surrounding area is no problem. In and around the village, the apartment complexes, luxury holiday bungalows, campsites and cozy holiday homes join forces. However, it is wise to reserve in advance. This way you can be sure that you will find yourself in an accommodation that meets your requirements of comfort and luxury. For example our apartments Juliana or Zeedistel. Beautiful apartments on the dune on the edge of De Koog. Would you rather have a luxury family villa, equipped with every comfort, with the sea and nightlife within walking distance? The bungalows on the Orchismient are exactly what you are looking for.

Holiday for humans and animals

A Texel holiday De Koog means fun for people and animals. Not only is there a lot to do on the beach, in the woods and the seaside resort of De Koog, our accommodations are also designed to ensure that every individual gets their money's worth. For example, there are spacious lawns around the family villas that are spacious enough to play a ball game with the children or a frolic with the dog. At some of our holiday bungalows there is even a playground in the garden and you have access to several terraces.

Parking and public transport

Paid parking is available everywhere in De Koog and at the beach strokes. Your car is of course free at your accommodation. If you want to use public transport, you have two options. Connexxion line 28 runs on the ferry port route ’ t Horntje, Den Burg to the center of De Koog. The second transport service is Texelhopper. With more than 130 boarding places, the small buses arrive in all villages and drive past all the sights of Texel. If you specify this at least an hour in advance, you can also reserve the service on time and place.

Nature near De Koog

Although De Koog is a holiday village, where you will find a lot of entertainment, you are not deprived of nature. On the contrary, the Juliana apartment complex is located in the middle of the dunes and only 150 m from the village center. Although the bungalows on the Orchismient are located in a bungalow district, it is completely embedded in the National Park De Duinen van Texel. You can walk straight into the forest from your bungalow. To get a good idea of the work of nature, there is a 14.5 km walking route Duinen van Texel around De Koog, which can be downloaded on routeyou.

Walking and cycling

De Koog is a great base for beautiful bike rides and walks. The village is almost centrally located on the island and is surrounded by the forests of the De Duinen van Texel National Park. In the protected nature reserve there is a whole network of short and longer walking routes, cycle paths and mountain bike trails. In the Seeting hiking area, the section between De Koog and Ecomare, the hiking trails are also suitable for mobility scooters and wheelchairs. To introduce the visitor to the hidden spots of Texel, Staatsbosbeheer regularly organizes interesting excursions. Not only for valid people, but also for people with disabilities. Ask at the reception of Ecomare.

Sigthseeing

Ecomare, lighthouse Eierland, the Oudheidkamer, ’ t Walvisvaarderhuisje and Fort Oudeschild are the most famous sights of our largest Wadden Island. Also worth a visit: the Texel Zoo, with its spectacular raptor show and special butterfly garden, Cape Skil, the beachcombing museum Flora and the War and Aviation Museum at Texel airport. Depending on the season you visit the island, the bird watching places are also in the month of May, the Regatta of Texel, in the month of June, mushroom walks with the ranger in October and cuddling lambs in the winter / spring is a good reason to spend the night in Texel De Koog.

Guests about Texelvakanties

Very professional and pleasant staff, clean, well equipped apartments, friendly and hospitable, great!

Joachim Göb

Beautiful clean, very well-maintained luxury houses on a beautifully landscaped small-scale park with lots of privacy. Close to forest, sea and dunes. And the center of De Koog.

Mario Boontje

Villapark Kamperfoelie . Very nice complex and well-equipped houses, perfect location for a relaxing holiday!

Aila

Spent a week in apartment Juliana 172. Upon entering we immediately became happy with the SCHONE and renovated apartment. We regularly come across it differently. Owner appreciates his guests by renting out his apartment in top condition. The reception was also good at the reception. We will definitely be back in this apartment complex.

Mario Spierings

Located in a beautiful spot in the dunes and against the Koog. Is a bit dated on the outside but very neat on the inside. With excellent rooms.

Dennis B.

Very professional team that responds to the wishes of the guests even in difficult times . The apartments are in top condition and the equipment leaves nothing to be desired. Especially for dog owners, both the apartment house Juliana and the island is a great holiday destination.

Klaus Hille

The booking, arrival and processing of the reservation by the staff was fantastic. The bungalow Vredelust 57 had everything and more we needed for our holiday. We loved the large garden - an absolute plus for families with children and dogs! We would come back any time.

Manuela Biedenkopf

The apartments are very clean, just like the rest of the complex. The location is brilliant. We are already planning for next year. And everyone who lives there until then: a nice, relaxing holiday.

Joerg Hendricks

We have been coming to villa park Kamperfoelie for years and always to full satisfaction. Fantastic houses that have been adapted over the years to the applicable taste (renewed bathrooms, kitchens, floors, beds ...) It is also nice that there is always sufficient crockery, etc., so that it does not match the intended number of residents. Beautiful, spacious villas with all comforts in a spacious garden and close to the Koog. It is already certa…

Jeanette Brinker

We enjoyed 2 weeks on the beautiful island of Texel in a very luxurious house on the honeysuckle. On a Friday we went and everything goes very smoothly on the boat, when you get off the boat you first have the idea that Texel is not so beautiful, but once you drive on you enter a very nice area. The house was fully equipped, dishwasher, combi microwave and lots of cutlery and crockery. As a nice side effect we had a bath with bubbles. The garden…

Annet Hoekstra

Very well maintained facility with good service and very friendly staff/ inside.The location on Texel is unique on top of the dune. Parking and bicycle base singly lockable available. We have been about 15 years several times a year in the house Juliana and were always very satisfied.

Jürgen Knecght

Nice and helpful team 'the accommodations are one of the most beautiful on the whole island!
