HIKING ON TEXEL
Relax in all seasons? Then come for a walk on Texel! The Van der Valk Hotel on Texel, located next to one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the Netherlands, is the perfect starting point to discover one of the beautiful walking routes on Texel. Explore the beautiful nature in the adjacent nature reserve of the Dunes of Texel National Park.

Free use of the sauna, free parking and use of the WiFi network are also included in the package. A day longer free walking on Texel!
WALKING ROUTES IN TEXEL
The island has a wide choice of walking routes, but you can of course also set out on your own, without a route. A large part of Texel's nature is located in the Dunes of Texel National Park. Nowhere in the Netherlands will you find so many different landscapes in such a limited area. The area on the west side of the island has dunes, wet dune valleys, a varied pine and deciduous forest, salt marshes and heaths. In National Park Duinen van Texel there are many signposted routes that are indicated by posts with a colored head. Each color has its own meaning:
Yellow = through route
Blue = circular walk
Red = nature trail
Green = access only outside the breeding season
At the starting points of the walks, often at a parking lot, there are information boards that also indicate the length of the routes. You will also find trays with information leaflets here.
