Cycling on Terschelling

Terschelling has more than 100 kilometres of cycle paths linking every village with the woods, the heath, the beach and the wilderness in the east.

• Start in West: from the harbour of West-Terschelling you can cycle straight onto the island.
• Hire a bike: the bicycle hire shops rent out standard bikes and e-bikes, handy for the long ride east.
• Ready-made tours: the cycling routes below range from a short ride out of West to a day trip across the whole island.
• Nature from west to east: from the shifting dunes near West to the Boschplaat, the finest nature reserves lie along the cycle path.
• Beach and walking: park your bike at a beach access point for the wide beach, or have a look at our walking routes.

Bicycle hire

Terschelling has 2 bicycle hire shops, including one by the harbour of West-Terschelling, close to the Brandaris.

• On arrival: Fietsverhuur Zeelen is by the harbour of West-Terschelling, so you can step straight from the boat onto a bike.
• Another address: you can also hire a bike at Tijs Knop.
• Electric for long distances: the island is almost 30 kilometres long, so an e-bike is pleasant for a trip to the east.
