When you are on holiday, it is useful to have the right information close at hand. That is why I have brought together a selection of useful websites and information about the ferry, transport, walking and cycling, nature, activities and other practical matters.<\/p>\n
Not an endless list of links, but mainly information that can really help you during your stay on Texel.<\/p>\n
Is there something you cannot find, or would you like a personal recommendation? Just come and ask me.<\/strong><\/p>\n Albert Huisman<\/p>\n TESO operates the ferry between Den Helder and Texel. Before travelling, you can check the current timetable, additional sailings, waiting times and ticket information.<\/p>\n [Go to TESO \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For information about parking, the Texel digital parking permit and traffic regulations, visit the Texel parking website.<\/p>\n [Parking on Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Would you like to use public transport during your stay? Texelhopper provides current information about public transport options and timetables on the island.<\/p>\n [Go to Texelhopper \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Texel is a wonderful island to explore by bike. That is why AnjaHoeve works together with Vermeulen Bikes<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n As a guest of AnjaHoeve, you can reserve a bicycle or e-bike with Vermeulen Bikes before you arrive. Your bikes will be delivered to AnjaHoeve free of charge and collected again at the end of the rental period.<\/p>\n This means your bike can be ready for you when you arrive, without having to visit a bike rental shop during your holiday.<\/p>\n [Reserve your bike with Vermeulen Bikes \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Bringing your own e-bike? No problem. At AnjaHoeve you can store your bicycle and charge the battery.<\/p>\n One of the advantages of staying at AnjaHoeve is our location. De Dennen woodland is within walking distance<\/strong>, and from there you can continue through the dunes towards the North Sea beach.<\/p>\n Texel has an extensive network of walking paths through woodland, dunes and nature reserves and along the beach.<\/p>\n [View walking routes on Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n You do not need to get in the car first to enjoy a beautiful walk. Simply walk from AnjaHoeve towards De Dennen and decide along the way how far you would like to go.<\/p>\n A walk through the woodland is lovely in itself, but if you have more time, continue towards the dunes and beach.<\/p>\n Would you like a route to suit the distance you want to walk that day? Just ask me.<\/p>\n Cycling takes you to places you might easily pass by in a car. From AnjaHoeve you can cycle directly towards Den Hoorn, Den Burg, De Dennen and the west coast.<\/p>\n From a short ride through woodland and dunes to a complete circuit of the island, Texel offers cycling routes for almost every distance.<\/p>\n [View cycling routes on Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Do not spend your entire holiday trying to get from A to B as quickly as possible. It is often the smaller roads and cycle paths that make Texel so enjoyable.<\/p>\n Take a turning you have never tried before, stop along the way and enjoy the view. Texel is not a large island, so getting truly lost is quite difficult.<\/p>\n What is happening on Texel changes throughout the year. Markets, excursions, performances, walks and events are therefore easiest to find in an up-to-date calendar.<\/p>\n For an up-to-date overview of activities, museums, excursions, sporting activities and other things to do.<\/p>\n [Discover things to see and do on Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Would you like to know which events are taking place during your stay? Check the current Texel events calendar.<\/p>\n [View the Texel events calendar \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Do not only look at the major attractions. A market, village festival, small exhibition or an event that happens to take place during your stay can become one of your favourite memories of Texel.<\/p>\n Feel free to ask me what is happening on the island that week.<\/p>\n Texel has much more to offer than just the beach. From AnjaHoeve you can quickly reach De Dennen, the dunes and the west coast, while there are many more special nature areas elsewhere on the island.<\/p>\n The National Park stretches along much of the western side of Texel and includes woodland, dunes, coastal plains and several special nature reserves.<\/p>\n [Discover National Park Duinen van Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Would you like to learn more about the Wadden Sea, the North Sea and the nature of Texel? At Ecomare you can see seals, birds and aquariums and learn more about the island and its surrounding seas.<\/p>\n [Visit Ecomare \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Texel is a wonderful island to explore with your dog. Please remember that rules about keeping dogs on a lead can vary according to the area and the season.<\/p>\n For up-to-date information about where dogs can run off-lead and where they must be kept on a lead, walking opportunities and a useful map, visit our Holiday on Texel with your dog<\/em> page.<\/p>\n Staying at AnjaHoeve? Up to two dogs are welcome in every accommodation. Rood, Heem and Hof also have their own enclosed garden.<\/p>\n [Everything about a holiday on Texel with your dog \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Texel has plenty of restaurants, beach pavilions, caf\u00e9s and places where you can enjoy local produce.<\/p>\n Rather than providing a long list of restaurants here \u2013 which naturally changes from time to time \u2013 we prefer to direct you to an up-to-date overview.<\/p>\n [View restaurants and places to eat on Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Which restaurant I would recommend depends very much on what you fancy that evening. Fish, a good piece of meat, a relaxed meal, a beach pavilion or somewhere for a special dinner \u2013 just ask me where I would go.<\/p>\n And particularly during busy holiday periods: if you find a restaurant where you would really like to eat, book in advance.<\/p>\n Texel has many of its own products and producers. From cheese, lamb and beer to ice cream, jam and other products made on the island.<\/p>\n [Discover genuine Texel products \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Buying locally not only gives you something tasty to take home, but also introduces you to the people and businesses behind the products of the island.<\/p>\n Hopefully you will not need medical assistance during your holiday, but if something does happen, it is useful to know where to go.<\/p>\n If you need a doctor during your stay on Texel, there is a special telephone number for visitors from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00:<\/p>\n \u260e 0222 – 338 900<\/strong><\/p>\n Outside normal opening hours, you can contact the out-of-hours GP service on Texel:<\/p>\n \u260e 0222 – 321 143<\/strong><\/p>\n [Information about the out-of-hours GP service \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In a life-threatening situation or serious emergency, call 112 immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you need medication or advice from a pharmacist, there is a pharmacy in Den Burg.<\/p>\n [Information about the Texel pharmacy \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Texel also offers plenty of opportunities for visitors with limited mobility or those who use a wheelchair.<\/p>\n [Accessible Texel \u2013 information and activities for visitors with limited mobility \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Staying in Bungalow Sonja? Sonja is step-free and wheelchair accessible. If you have any questions before your arrival about Sonja’s accessibility or accessible activities on Texel, please feel free to contact me.<\/p>\n [View Bungalow Sonja \u2013 an accessible holiday on Texel \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Would you like to get to know Texel a little better? Several museums and special places tell the story of the island, the people who have lived and worked here and Texel’s close relationship with the sea.<\/p>\n A truly Texel museum filled with beach finds and stories about beachcombing. You will be amazed by everything that has washed ashore on Texel over the years.<\/p>\n [Visit Maritime & Beachcombers Museum Flora \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In Oudeschild you can discover the maritime history of Texel and its centuries-old relationship with the sea. The museum includes remarkable finds from shipwrecks and tells the story of the historic Roads of Texel.<\/p>\n [Visit Museum Kaap Skil \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In De Waal you can discover what life and work on Texel were like in the past. The museum tells the story of traditional crafts, customs and agricultural life on the island.<\/p>\n [Visit Texels Erfgoedmuseum Waelstee \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n At the northern tip of the island stands Texel’s distinctive red lighthouse. You can climb the lighthouse and enjoy a wonderful view across Texel, the North Sea and the Wadden Sea.<\/p>\n [Visit Texel Lighthouse \u203a]<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Take some time during your holiday to discover the stories behind Texel. At Flora you can learn about beachcombing, at Kaap Skil about Texel and the sea, at Waelstee about life and work on the island in earlier times, while the lighthouse gives you a completely different view of Texel.<\/p>\n And the best thing is: these places are not only worth visiting when it rains.<\/p>\n Would you like to know more about AnjaHoeve and our location?
