Experience the darkness of West-Terschelling with Staatsbosbeheer
Terschelling is one of the darkest areas in the Netherlands. It is not without reason that the first Dark Sky Park of the Netherlands can be found on this island. You can experience the darkness of the night all over the island, even under the light of the Brandaris lighthouse. The nature guide from Staatsbosbeheer will take you to discover the darkness of West-Terschelling yourself. After a short introduction, you will set off on foot for a 1.5-hour walk. As your eyes slowly get used to the dark, your senses become sharper. Listen to the night sounds and hear special stories about this area. In clear weather, you can see the starry sky. Come along and discover the darkness of the island on West-Terschelling.

Staatsbosbeheer
Staatsbosbeheer
Terschelling consists of 80 percent nature. None of the Wadden Islands is as varied as Terschelling. Between the two seas lie forests, beaches, dune valleys and salt marshes, polders and heathland. A long string of villages connects west with east.
