Den Hoorn

A picturesque village in southern Texel, with a white church rising between flower fields and meadows. It is the island’s most photogenic village.

Den Hoorn is a traditional village in southern Texel, once home to pilots. The white Protestant church at the village center dates from the 15th century, and its spire served as a landmark for seafarers. In spring it is especially photogenic against the tulip and bulb fields. The village has galleries, pottery studios, and several popular restaurants. To the west, you can cross the dunes to the beach. To the south, a road leads to De Mok Bay and De Hors. The village is only a few kilometers from the ferry terminal at ’t Horntje, so it makes a good first stop after arriving on the island.
