Terschelling

The landscape around Terschelling is a low, wind-shaped island of dunes, salt marshes and broad beaches, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. Between the North Sea and the Wadden Sea, it forms part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, where tides continually reshape mudflats and channels. Villages such as West-Terschelling and Midsland remain small and distinct, connected by roads through dunes and farmland. The Brandaris lighthouse in West-Terschelling dates from 1594 and is the Netherlands’ oldest lighthouse. Each June, the island hosts Oerol, a theatre and arts festival held in indoor and outdoor settings.
