Start at the Wassermann-bunker on the Cornelis Visserpad. Read the plaque to learn how this heavy radar bunker was part of the Nazi Atlantikwall defense line, even though the radar itself never operated.
13:13
Walk 13 minutes east to the Duinen Schiermonnikoog nature reserve. Step into the protected dune landscape, a sanctuary for birds under the Vogelrichtlijn and Habitatrichtlijn protections. Enjoy the silence and the wild grasses swaying in the wind.
13:40
Head 26 minutes north-northeast to Badstrand Schiermonnikoog. This is the main bathing beach. Find a spot on the sand to relax, watch the North Sea, and enjoy the open horizon.
Local tip
The island is small and quiet. Bring layers as the coastal wind can be brisk even in mild weather.
