Cycling & walking

Our beautiful island lends itself perfectly to exploration by bicycle or on foot. The bicycle is, in fact, the number 1 mode of transport on the island. Cycling on Terschelling enables you to enjoy everything the island has to offer in terms of nature and culture.

There is an extensive network of more than 100 km of cycle paths for you to explore. One of the options is to cycle the entire length of the island on the outside of the dike, alongside the mudflats.

Another stunning and interesting cycling tour is 'Sporen in het zand' ('Traces in the sand'). This route takes you on a journey through 1000 years of human inhabitation on Terschelling, with the corresponding stories. The cycle route booklet and the cycle route is available from the hotel reception.
