October 18th, 2007: The "High Mountain" of Texel


Since I first arrived on Texel, I have heard about the "high mountain". I thought that it was a joke, but no, there is actually a small bump on Texel that is called the "High Mountain". Over the summer various people tried to point out the high mountain to me, but I could never tell where it was. So this past weekend a group of us set out to find and "climb" the high mountain, which is 15m high!!! (Let's just say that I was barely aware that we were biking uphill.) This is the top of the high mountain...
And this is the view from the high mountain.
The above picture is from the dunes near Den Hoorn. We biked here after climbing the high mountain. I actually think that the dunes over here are higher than the high mountain...

This old WWII bunker is located in the dunes by Den Hoorn. There is a nice view from the top.
