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.

Nature on Schiermonnikoog

On Schiermonnikoog the elements still have the landscape fully in its hold. Because of ocean currents, prevailing winds, tides and 'walking' dunes, the island has crawled twenty kilometers east since the Middle century.
