Parkeerplaats Prins Hendrik Zanddijk

Parkeerplaats Prins Hendrik Zanddijk is a convenient starting point for exploring Texel’s newest nature reserve, opened in 2019 along the Wadden Sea between ’t Horntje and Oudeschild. A short walk from the car park leads to a birdwatching point equipped with a Swarovski telescope, perfect for observing local wildlife. At low tide, visitors can descend the dike for a scenic walk across the sand towards Oudeschild—though caution is advised on the sometimes slippery gravel and basalt stones. Located in the quiet, authentic surroundings of Den Hoorn, this spot is ideal for cycling or walking excursions. For the latest details on access or conditions, visit the website or contact the Texel ambassador behind the project.
