KNRM Reddingstation Texel in De Koog is a 24-hour volunteer-operated rescue station dedicated to saving lives at sea. Part of the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM), this station has relied on unpaid crew members since 1824, funded entirely by donations. Explore a 45-kilometre cycling route developed with the ANWB, featuring stories of dramatic rescues and shipwrecks. The station welcomes support through donations—from survival suits (€1,685) to helmets (€880)—or by joining their volunteer team.
