Discover beautiful Terschelling on a bicycle
Terschelling is very suitable for cycling, thanks in part to the many cycle paths that lead you to the most beautiful places. With 80 kilometres of cycle paths, Terschelling is a challenge for any bike enthusiast. Take a beautiful trip to the Brandaris lighthouse, cycle through the Boschplaat nature reserve and spot different bird species. Because the distances between the different villages are relatively small, you can even see the entire island within a day during a wonderful bike ride! Highly recommended is the 40-kilometre-long cycling route 'Traces in the Sand'. This cycle route leads you through all kinds of special places on Terschelling.
