De Slufter

Texel has about 40 nature reserves. The best known is the Slufter, an area with an open connection to the North Sea. The largest part of this nature reserve is a bird breeding and rest area of which only the southern part is accessible. You can follow the path from the Slufter stairs for a beautiful walk through the salt marshes all the way to the beach. Another bird area is the polder Waalenburg
