The most beautiful Wadden Island
Terschelling
Terschelling is a municipality and an island in the
northern Netherlands, one of the West Frisian Islands. It is situated
between the islands of Vlieland and Ameland.
Wadden Islanders are known for their resourcefulness in using
anything and everything that washes ashore. With few trees to use for
timber, most of the farms and barns are built with masts recovered from
shipwrecks. The islands are surrounded by shipwrecks, and even today
many containers wash ashore that have blown off the decks of container
ships in the North Sea.
The main source of income on Terschelling is tourism. There is some
agriculture, but a large part of the island has become a nature reserve.
Terschelling is well known for the yearly Oerol Festival during
which theatre performances are played throughout the island, making use
of its landscape and nature.
Terschelling can be reached by ferry from the mainland Frisian town
Harlingen and from Vlieland by high-speed catamaran.
