time for Texel...

Experience autumn on Texel

When the days get shorter, autumn arrives with its beautiful colours. Texel's varied landscape turns red and yellow, perfect for an autumn walk in the autumn sun. Whether you walk through the Texel forests, dunes or along the beach. The latter is also great on a stormy day, to really get some fresh air.

Texel nature in autumn

In autumn, Texel unfolds with a beautiful play of colours. Mushrooms and fungi appear. The fresh green slowly gives way to autumn leaves in colours such as ochre yellow and burgundy red. This beautiful phenomenon can also be seen in the De Slufter nature reserve. Where samphire is a beautiful pink, lilac and purple in summer, in autumn we see a blanket of deep red.

In addition to the many changes in nature, the birds are also busy during autumn. Bird migration is in full swing and hundreds of bird species leave Texel on their way to their wintering grounds. A fascinating spectacle that is definitely worth a visit.

Autumn activities on Texel

Texel is at its most beautiful in autumn. In the autumn, nature calms down and the island transforms into a vibrant palette of colours. The season determines the experience. Autumn is a wonderful time to watch the sunset at the lighthouse, when the sky is often beautifully coloured. Or consider a special guided forest walk.

There is also plenty to do in the villages. Stroll through autumn markets, enjoy local delicacies or discover unique finds in lifestyle shops and boutiques. Festivals and cultural activities add to the atmosphere in autumn. Curious about even more activities? Then take a look at all our Texel tips!

Autumn with the whole family

Autumn is a cosy time of year and ideal for enjoying peace, nature and conviviality together. Get some fresh air on an empty beach, collect chestnuts in the woods and then warm up with hot chocolate and apple pie. Is the weather not so good? Texel also offers plenty of indoor activities. Visit Ecomare or the maritime and beachcombers' museum, for example. Or enjoy the facilities at Holiday Park De Krim, such as the indoor swimming pool, bowling alley or indoor laser game hall. In short, there is plenty to do for everyone in autumn, both indoors and outdoors!
