Day 3 on Texel. After the second day literally fell through, we got back on our bikes today. It went so well that we almost did a full circuit. 😎

June 17, 2024,Texel Tag 16: Fahrradtour von Gerritslanderdijkje nach t‘ Horntje und an der Küste weiter bis De Cocksdorp mit standardmäßigem Besuch der Eisdiele “Labora“. Danach durch die Felder in Richtung Dünen und dort den Radweg zurück zum Ausgangspunkt

June 27, 2025,Texel Tag 5: Mal wieder zur Küstenseite nach Oudeschild und De Cocksdorp. Zurück über die Dünenroute bei feinstem Gegenwind 🌬️

There's simply too much to see along the coast. So, hop on your bikes and head towards the ferry port, then onto the well-maintained cycle path along the coast. There's always a market in Oudeschild on Fridays – it's worth stopping for a bit. For the weekday portion of sea fish, we quickly grabbed a bismarck roll in a kit …
