Search Hotels by Fletcher in Terschelling Island

Terschelling pulls in around 50,000 revellers each year for the immensely popular Oerol-Festival, with performances from musicians and theatre groups from all over. Beside the festival, the island also has stunning natural beauty. Take the Boschplaat for example, a natural area that is a European nature reservation and a place where dozens of birds come to breed.

West-Terschelling

West-Terschelling is where you’ll find most of the hotels. Visit the Brandaris (1594), the oldest lighthouse of the Netherlands. It nearly burned down in 1666 when the English set the whole town on fire. Nowadays, there is always someone at the 53 metre high building – unfortunately visitors can not go inside.

Visit Torenstraat and Boomstraat, two popular locations for shopping and eating. Another beautiful place is the marine, filled with boats each summer and is a stop for sailors making the trip from England to Germany (and back again). Take a boat from Rederij Doeksen as well as EVT to Terschelling.

Behind West-Terschelling you will find the highest point of the island: Kaapsduin (31,5 metres above sea level). There is still a broadcasting point there that was used during World War II.

In the eastern part of Terschelling you will find the Boschplaat, an impressive area that has been named a European nature reservation. It is almost 10 kilometres long and a breeding area for about 60 species of birds. You will also find a lot of Alder here, planted to protect the former grain fields.
