The means of transportation on car-free Vlieland is, of course, the bicycle! Explore the 26 kilometers of bike paths that lead along the dunes and through the forest. The mushrooms show you the way so getting lost is not possible.
Vlieland's beaches are known as one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. Whereas on beautiful beach days all of the Netherlands runs out to places like Zandvoort and Scheveningen, on Vlieland you will never find crowds of tourists on the beach. The various outdoor and event agencies on the island organize various fun beach and water sports activities such as surfing, kiting and supping. Bare feet in the sand and enjoy. A bright sunset should not be missed, of course.
Vlieland offers a lot of beautiful bridle paths that run through the island's forests and moors. On the back of the horse you can thus enjoy Vlieland's nature at its very best. Stable Edda is a management specifically for Icelanders. Manege de Seeruyter also offers other horse breeds. A beautiful ride on horseback over the beach of Vlieland is of course unforgettable!
Vlieland also has a lot to offer culturally. Admire the skeleton of a sperm whale in visitor center De Noordwester or experience what it's like to walk through a World War II trench in Bunkermuseum Stelling 12H. We also have Museum Tromps Huys, located in one of Vlieland's oldest buildings. Here you will learn all about Vlieland's maritime past. A visit to our lighthouse, located on the highest dune in the Netherlands, cannot be missed.
Our reception staff will be happy to advise you on finding and booking a fun activity.
