Bleekerij - Nature

The Bleekerij is a hidden gem in the middle of Texel’s De Dennen forest area — an oasis of tranquillity with open grasslands and small ponds.

What makes the Bleekerij so special?

Varied landscape: In the middle of the forest unfolds a surprisingly open landscape of meadows, ponds, and flowers, surrounded by the fragrant pines of De Dennen.
Grazing Black Angus cattle: These sturdy animals keep the area open and maintain a lively, natural balance between forest, grass, and water.
Birdwatchers’ paradise: From the birdwatching screen at the edge of the area, you can observe numerous bird species — from ducks and geese to birds of prey gliding gracefully over the fields.
Peace and nature experience: The Bleekerij is ideal for those wishing to escape the bustle. Here, you’ll hear nothing but the rustling of the wind and the songs of birds.
Photogenic spot: The mix of open spaces, reflective water, and grazing animals makes the Bleekerij a favourite place for nature photographers.

Location: The Bleekerij lies in the centre of Texel, within the De Dennen nature area, between Den Burg and De Koog.
Best time to visit: Especially early in the morning or around sunset (approximately 06:00–21:00), the area is enchantingly quiet with beautiful light.

Escape the crowds and experience the serene beauty of the Bleekerij — a peaceful natural treasure in the heart of Texel.
