Village character between Formerum and Hoorn

Lies is described in the local overview as a small settlement with farms and houses along the island's main road. This local structure makes a difference for your choice of accommodation: you are not simply looking for any holiday apartment on Terschelling, but for a stay with a connection to a specific island village.

If you prefer a clearly defined, small village location, Lies may suit your plans. However, no conclusions about facilities, accessibility, or the suitability of individual holiday apartments can be drawn from this; for that, please check the exact location of the respective offer.

Natural area north of Lies

The Koegelwieck nature reserve lies in the dunes north of Lies. This gives the village a concrete connection to the landscape in this part of Terschelling. For choosing a location with a connection to this landscape area, Lies is therefore relevant if you wish to take the Koegelwieck north of the village into account.

You should keep the reserve's location outside the village in mind when selecting your holiday apartment. Check the exact position of the accommodation and the actual access rather than assuming proximity to the Koegelwieck based on the village name alone.
