Travel back in time and experience a turbulent history

Travel back in time and discover the remains of the Atlantikwall on Terschelling. This special 7-kilometre route (perfect for walking or partly cycling) takes you past bunkers in the dunes, bomb craters in the forest, and former radar stations and lookout points — each with its own impressive story.

With the route booklet in hand, you’ll learn all about the turbulent history of these places. Along the way, you’ll visit the impressive Bunker Museum "de Tigerstelling" in West-Terschelling, where history truly comes alive.

Want to see more? Expand your route with a cycling tour along other bunkers in Formerum, Hoorn and Oosterend. Discover the unique contrast between wild nature and military heritage.

Explore places where history is still visible in the landscape of today.

Walking route length: 7 km | Duration: approx. 2 hours
Optional: extend your route by bike to visit bunkers across the island.
