Want to know how Tesselaars used to live? Step into the past and experience how the island's inhabitants lived, lived and worked in other times! In two beautiful cheese-cover farmhouses in the picturesque village of De Waal, you will get a surprisingly multifaceted picture of daily life on Texel in the past. Get up close, empathise and reflect on the often hard work. Day in, day out, without amenities such as running water, electricity, telephone or a computer. A visit to Waelstee gives you an interesting insight into how things used to be, with perhaps even a touch of nostalgia for some guests. Opening hours: from the first Tuesday in March until 27 October. Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am-5 pm. Sundays and holidays from 1:30 pm - 5 pm. Closed on Mondays. Blacksmithing and crafts demonstration takes place every Tuesday and Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm. Prices: adults €7.50 per person. Children aged 3-12 €4.50. Children under 3 free.
