Description by the author

This route is plotted on the island of Texel, which, unlike the other Wadden Islands, has a long geological history. Although the route in terms of motor kilometers starts and ends with the exit and exit of the ferry in 't Horntje on Texel, the route starts and ends in terms of experience when entering and exiting the ferry in Den Helder.
The route runs through a number of different landscapes. The old land of Texel forms the core of the island and consists of boulder clay hills formed in the penultimate ice age (Saalien), which were largely covered by cover sand in the last ice age (Weichselien). The rest of the island is much younger and consists of dunes along the North Sea coast and reclaimed salt marshes along the Wadden coast.
The tour starts and ends in the ferry port 't Horntje on Texel.
Please note: It is recommended to drive this route in spring or autumn, outside the school holidays.

This tour is part of a set of 16 tours that are intended for everyone with an eye for (the development of) the Dutch landscape.
In the Netherlands, 6 landscapes can be distinguished: loess landscape, sandy landscape, river landscape, peat landscape, sea clay landscape and dune landscape. The different landscapes are explored through 16 tours with mention of all kinds of scenic and historical sights / facts.
For those who want to know more about the sights / facts mentioned in the routes, the routes are also available in book form.
For more information and an overview of all routes, see www.fjreedijk.nl/motorgeografie.
