Discover Slow Travel on Terschelling

Travel to the rhythm of nature. Relax. Meet. Marvel.
#TRAVELLIFE

Let go of the clock and experience Terschelling as it was meant to be: slow, aware and connected with the environment.
Slow travel is not just a way of travelling, it is an attitude to life. At Terschelling you will find space, silence and the freedom to really land - in nature, in yourself.

🐚 What is slow travel?

Slow travel is travelling with attention. Not rushing from highlight to highlight, but quietly discovering what lies beyond the dunes. It is walking without purpose, having breakfast without time and connecting with the people and stories of the island.

At Terschelling, that means:
🌾 sleeping in a tiny house among the dunes
🚶‍♀️ walking across Boschplaat at sunrise
🍽️ cooking with local products from nature
🚲 cycling without a route, by chance
📚 reading a book in the garden of your holiday home, listening to the wind

🌱 Experience slow travel on Terschelling with these tips:

🥾 Walk the silence
Leave the car and explore the island on foot. The walking routes through the Hoorn forest, across the moors or along the mud apartments are pure and soothing. Tip: the Silence Walk near Oosterend with an island guide is a unique experience.

🐄 Visit a local farm
Experience how island cheese is made, help herd sheep or taste raw honey. Slow travel is all about connecting with the place and the people. Recommended: farm Zelfpluktuin Groenhof.

🧘‍♀️ Join yoga on the beach
Start the day with a yoga or breathing session in the surf. For example, at sunrise on the Green Beach or in Formerum at Yoga Terschelling.
