Our farm is quietly situated at the Westerweg, which is the main road between villages Den Hoorn and Den Burg. It is about 3 kilometres away from both villages. (Turn off at the Pontweg exit 8). Pinewoods ‘de Dennen’ are at a stone’s throw and the beach is only 2.5 kilometres away.<\/p>\n
Den Burg is the lively centre of the isle of Texel. There are lovely shops and lots of nice terraces. Each Monday morning there is a market.<\/p>\n
There are fine restaurants in the surrounding area, among others there is Bos en Duin<\/a>, de Worsteltent<\/a> and Catharinahoeve<\/a> (go there for lovely pancakes!). There’s much room for culinary delight. More lovely restaurants can be found in the villages Den Hoorn and Den Burg.<\/p>\n For horse riders there is riding school ‘Akenburg’, quite near the Westerweg. And there is also ‘Hoeve Vrij en Blij’, a boarding place for horses.<\/p>\n At 8 kilometers distance there is De Koog, the main sea-side resort of Texel, and very popular with young people. Near De Koog there is Ecomare<\/a> (seals) and swimming paradise Calluna<\/a>.<\/p>\n Besides, some nice museums can be visited on Texel. Museums such as het Luchtvaart- en Oorlogsmuseum<\/a> near the airfield, Cultuurhistorisch museum<\/a> in De Waal, the Maritiem en Juttersmuseum<\/a> in Oudeschild and the Schipbreuk- en Juttersmuseum Flora<\/a> at the Pontweg between Den Burg and De Koog. Or step up 118 stair steps and enjoy the amazing view on top of the Lighthouse <\/a><\/p>\n Texel has lots of activities to offer. You might want to go and play golf, go skydiving, sail a catamaran or go kite surfing. And of course it’s great for long and short (nordic) walks and bicycle rides.<\/p>\nHorse riding<\/h2>\n
