Texel is the largest and most populated island in the Dutch Wadden Sea.

Texel became an island in 1170 when it was separated from the mainland in the All Saints Flood. The landscape on Texel is different from that on the other Wadden Islands, which consist mainly of sand and sand dunes. On Texel, however, a thick layer of boulder clay was left after the Saalian glacial period, making the soil far more fertile and allowing the land to develop differently.
