Krimbos - Nature

The Krimbos is located in the north of Texel, near De Cocksdorp, and is a wonderful natural area for walking, cycling, and playing in the fresh sea air.

What can you expect in the Krimbos?

• Young Forest Area: The Krimbos is the youngest forest on Texel and part of the Dunes of Texel National Park. It was created in the 1980s and expanded to around 130 hectares.
• Varied Nature: The forest offers a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, open flower-filled areas, and ponds with nature-friendly banks that attract many insects, birds, and small animals.
• Flora and Fauna: In spring, nightingales breed here, while mice, butterflies, and dragonflies hide among the bushes and along the watersides.
• Recreation for Everyone: The Krimbos is ideal for walkers, cyclists, and families. There are playgrounds, picnic areas, and quiet paths for those who want to escape the crowds.
• Photogenic Landscape: The alternation between dense forests and open spaces creates beautiful views and photogenic walking routes, especially at sunrise or in the late afternoon.
