About
About Schiermonnikoog
Schiermonnikoog allows almost no cars, so the ferry carries people and bicycles rather than traffic. Eleven sailings a week come in from Lauwersoog and 10 go back, 3.5 nautical miles in 31 to 33 minutes, between 06:30 and 20:15.
Four day patterns cover the route, and the boat lands at a harbour some distance from the village — a bus completes the journey.
The island is the smallest inhabited Wadden island, roughly 900 residents on a strip of dune and salt marsh that is almost entirely national park. Its name means grey monk island, after the Cistercians who farmed it in the Middle Ages. Wagenborg Passagiersdiensten runs the ferries; outside them there is no way on or off.
