Walking on top of the world

Walking on top of the world by robino van robokow

Just a year ago his house was on exactly the spot he is walking now, on top of a 20 meter high dune. But the island moves every year, and the dune is not there no more.

About this place:

One of the most beautiful Dutch islands, in the North of the country, in the Waddensea, Terschelling is an island that never stands still. Literally as at the north changes shape throughout the seasons; the wind blows sand away, making dunes appear and reappear at new places.

Terschelling is famous for its Oerol festival. Every year for a period of 10 days everywhere on the island Oerol activities take place, with over 50,000 visitors and 60 temporary theaters in the open-air and in tents.

Terschelling is surrounded by dunes, counts several villages and at least ten campings. It is an active touristic destination with mostly Germans and Dutch tourists that stay over. It is also very popular among the youth.
