Let me present Ameland in view
Pavlik_NL Says: Ameland, the pearl of the "Wadden" sea is reached by boat over this shallow sea. One boattour will take place through "geulen" and "prielen", the natural canals that are at hightide invisible at the bottom of the sea. The island is formed by a sandbank that got surfaced and...
Nes, holy water became the Willibrord"-pool
Pavlik_NL Says: In the recreational area "Vleyen" there is a small pool that is fenced of by wooden poles. This is the "holy water" and it used to be a pool that worshipped the Frysian God Forsite, God of justice. Even the cattle that drank from this pool became holy and were untouchable....

nighthawk Says: Do visit the east part of the island, which can be reached by foot, bike or with a special tractor.It is a nature reserve and it s just so beautiful! and peaceful! If you go by the tractor it will be a 2,5 hours outing (approx). Over the beach the driver will take you to the...
Hollum, so pictoresque and beautiful

Hollum, the Frysian top facades on Ameland
Pavlik_NL Says: In Friesland they are numerous, the traditional top facade at buildings, that represent two graceful swans, flanking a pointy shaped pole on a triangle top part of the front and backroof. Especially farms and their surroundings barns have them. Ameland was long time a...
Hollum, the "visafslag" (fish market place)

Discotheque Swinging Mill: Party all night long in Nes
Pavlik_NL Says: In the high season Ameland is definately not like Terschelling, a party island that attracts especially teenagers and twennies that want to party all night long. Still, also on Ameland there are a few discotheques and Nes has two of them. One is the Swingingmill (the other...
Bloody Mary: THE brown cafe on the island Ameland
Pavlik_NL Says: The Bloody Mary is a mixed drink, everyone knows that. The Bloody Mary was also the name of a infamous pirate ship and the Bloody Mary is a very nice "brown" cafe in Hollum on the island of Ameland. The cafe is typical Dutch (that's why it is called "brown" (actually this...

Pavlik_NL Says: A bike doesn't necessarily have to suite one person. Tandems like to bring couples closer together and are a lot of fun as well (especially for the one on the back, that now and then can relax letting the front one do the work). For children there is a wide range of...
Zorra80 Says: The appropriate means of transport on Ameland is definitely the bike. The island is pretty flat and it's small enough for reaching any place by bike. Such a peaceful experience to ride the bike along the dyke by bike. There are quite a few bike rental stores on the island....

Pavlik_NL Says: The "Wadden" sea is a sea that is dry at low tide and a true sea at high tide. At springtides the water comes up very fast, but normally it also is faster then you might expect. Now, there are many guided tours onto the "Wadden" and they are very interesting, but ... do not...
Buren, long time ago a ship was wrecked
Pavlik_NL Says: The sea is full of mysteries and once and a while it suddenly decides to give up one of them. In the outskirts of Buren, towards the Northern parts of Nes, a "pile of blackened wood" is laying in the fields. Well no, look closer and discover that it has the form of the lower...
Buren, the "Swartwoude" museum
Pavlik_NL Says: In Buren is the fourth museum of Ameland and it shows two sides of the life of centuries ago. First the agricultural ways of living: farmhouses, cattlefarming and everything that was going on to grow food or create the bases for milk and meat, as well as woole. This however...
nighthawk Says: The main village of Ameland is Nes, this is also the place where you first set foot on Ameland. It is also the most busiest village of the island and I was rather glad we stayed at the other side of the island in the village of Hollum.Nes also has a week market and lots of...
