History of Texel
Texel is known as a versatile island with something for
everybody. In the general brochures on Texel, many aspects of the islands
are touched, but they are usually not specified any further. There are
often very interesting stories behind them.
Origins of the island
Texel’s landscape deviates strongly from that of the
other Frisian islands, which consist mainly of sand and dune areas.
The most important cause is the difference in soil structure, but the activities
of generations of inhabitants have also left their mark.
The most important feature of the Waddensea is the enormous
displacement of water during low and high tide. Twice every twenty-four
hours, large parts of the Waddensea fall dry, while the area is completely
flooded with water during high tide. This makes the wad a rather abundant
food source for many animal species.
Texel (sheep)
The Texel is a breed of domestic sheep originally from the
island of Texel in the Netherlands. It is now a popular lean meat sheep
in the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay and Europe.
