Set off from Den Helder, the northernmost point of the Dutch mainland, and enjoy the salty breeze as you ride toward Den Burg on Texel island. This 13.7 km route is mostly paved and super flat, making it a relaxed trip—you’ll barely notice the gentle 10-meter ascent. The ride is almost entirely on dedicated cycleways, so you won’t have to worry about traffic, just soak in the coastal views!

You’ll catch a ferry across the Marsdiep (don’t forget to check the ferry times!), and as you roll onto Texel, the scenery instantly switches to the wide-open fields and sheep-dotted pastures the island is known for. Finishing in Den Burg, Texel’s main village, you’ll find cozy cafés, historic buildings, and a laid-back island vibe—a perfect spot to end your ride and grab a bite. Whether you’re after Dutch maritime history or classic island charm, this breezy ride has you covered!
