Terschelling
Terschelling is the third inhabited Wadden Island in the row of five. Long and thin, with many nature areas and several villages. It is actually made up of more area under water than above water. The bird island Griend belongs to the township of Terschelling. In the Netherlands, when one says cranberries, then one thinks of Terschelling.
