The standout landmark on the island is the 400-year-old lighthouse “Brandaris” that can be seen from well off in the distance. The heathland of “Boschplaat” is also well worth exploring, a landscape that captivates mudflats, beaches and dunes. If you’re lucky, you may even spot ducks, black-winged stilts, large colonies of spoonbills and great black-backed gulls. After a long day of cycling, you can relax once more onboard the ship.
