With nearly a thousand people Schiermonnikoog is the smallest inhabited island of the Netherlands. The island is about 18 km long and 3 km wide and is known for its tranquility, nature and small scale.

Together with the car-free policy that the municipality carries, Schiermonnikoog is truly a paradise for hikers and cyclists.
But there are also many events organized on the island for both young and old.
