Jansje
About
On Terschelling, Jansje sits in the village of Hoorn, at Dorpsstraat 95, postcode 8896 JD. The chalet is one of the addresses that visitors book ahead for, and the website at vakantiehuisje-jansje-terschelling.nl carries the details.
What the chalet is known for is a self-contained stay in one of the smaller Wadden islands' villages, with West-Terschelling, Midsland, Formerum, Hoorn, Oosterend and Lies forming the island's settled places. First-time visitors should expect a quiet base rather than a hotel-style setup, with the island's beaches and cycle paths as the main draw. A 4.7 out of 5 average from 7 reviews reflects a small but satisfied set of guests.
Reaching Terschelling means a ferry from the mainland, and the island's villages are linked by a single main road, so a bicycle or car makes getting around easier. Dutch is the main language, and Frisian is spoken on Terschelling and Schiermonnikoog. North Sea fish, shrimps, mussels, lamb and dairy feature in local cooking, and the island's lamb is a particular speciality.
The Wadden Islands were formed by sand and clay moved by tides, and some were once joined to the mainland. Sheep graze the dikes and salt marshes, a sight that shapes the island's open landscape.
