West Terschelling August 1978 Terschelling is one of the so called "Wadden" islands. I spent many summer holiday there when I was young. The island has unique flora and fauna. |
Kinnum, you can miss it (so short!). |
The Stryper Churchyard. Here the English were stopped when they ask an old lady how many troops there were around. She replied: "Only a few are standing, but thousand are lying" (She spoke about the graves). |
Formerum with the windmill. |
Northsea Beach Let's start at "Het Groene Strand" in West. |
Trough the woods we pass lake "Dodemanskisten" (the remainings of a former sea arm). |
Along the sandy footpath to Paal 3. |
Finally the beach with a beach lake at Paal 4. |
To reach the island yoy have to take the ferry from Harlingen, provence of Friesland. The first you will see is West Terschelling with the Brandaris Lighthouse. |
Towards "De Noordsvader". The shooting range is closed now. |
Craters from the practice bombs. |
Flora and Fauna Steek kwal (these are dangerous irritating). |
Blauwe Kwal (just slimy). |
Cranberries, unique for The Netherlands. Due to a stranding the berries came ashore and proved to be in furtile grounds. Terschelling has it's own cranberrie wine industries. |
Lamsoor. Forbidden to take home! |
Lifeboat practice at Paal 8. The "Zeeduivel" tractor ............ |
pulling the "Nicolaas Marius" lifeboat to the sea. |
The islands' seniors are watching you from their bench at "Het Wakend Oog". So, if you want to know the latest gossip ...... |
Departure All good things ends ... The ferry, nowadays they are bigger and also the harbour is rebuild. |
Some of the characterestic houses. |
The oldest house is 't Behouden Huys, one of the few houses not distroyed in the fireblaze of August 20 1666, after the English attacked the island. Nowadays it's a museum. |
Two of the canons from the in 1799 sunken goldship Lutine. |
The rest of TERSCHELLING We look behind us for this well-known view of West and Dellewal. |
