Nationaal Park
Schiermonnikoog is a dynamic island where nature is allowed to roam free. Almost nowhere else can you find as many different landscapes in such a small space: forests; dunes full of fragrant plants and flowers; the beach; the salt marsh with its beautiful views’ and the farm lands brimming with birds.
With such a variety of landscapes; over 300 types of birds visit the island every year and a wealth of rare plants, it is no wonder that the island has been a National Park since 1989. Schiermonnikoog is one of twenty National Parks in the Netherlands, who together give an impression of the diversity of natural landscapes the country has to offer
A true paradise
Schiermonnikoog is a paradise for bird watchers and people looking for peace and tranquillity. On the West side of the island there are plenty of walking and cycle paths. While the East side of the island offers a more off-road approach, where nature roams free for people to enjoy and relax in.
