About us
What is the Winkelhart?
Den Burg – Winkelhart van Texel is a partnership of shopkeepers, cafés, restaurants and other businesses in the centre of Den Burg. Together we work for a town centre that is a pleasure to shop, eat and spend time in, for Texel residents and island visitors alike.
In the cosy town centre you'll find shops, businesses and entrepreneurs of every kind, so there's something for everyone. In between, enjoy coffee or lunch on a sunny terrace. All year round we organise markets, theme markets, shopping Sundays, promotions and street music, so there is always something going on in Den Burg.
