=== Landscape === The island is 23.7 km long and 9.6 km wide, its surface is 162.00 square kilometres.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://opendata.cbs.nl/statline/#/CBS/nl/dataset/70072ned/table?dl=3B993 |title=Statistic data per municipality |publisher=CBS |language=nl }}</ref> The highest point of the island is the dune "Bertusnol" (also "Nol van Bertus"), which is situated in the [[Dunes of Texel National Park]], at 19.6 m. The dune landscape on Texel is an important habitat for wildlife. Notable areas include [[Dunes of Texel National Park#De Slufter|De Slufter]], where the tide comes in and meets the dunes, forming a marshy environment rich in both fauna and flora. In winter, [[bird of prey|birds of prey]] and [[goose|geese]] take up residence. About a third of Texel is a protected nature reserve. A wetland called Utopia has been designed for birds to nest in.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.natuurmonumenten.nl/nieuws/utopia-voor-vogels |title=Utopia voor vogels |access-date=1 March 2017 |archive-date=5 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205130138/https://www.natuurmonumenten.nl/nieuws/utopia-voor-vogels |url-status=live }}</ref>
