In one of Holland's and even Europe's most fascinating areas of scenic beauty, the isle of Ameland is situated between the Dutch Wadden and the
North Sea. Forty-five minutes from the mainland you enter another world... Ameland.
This island is known as the Wadden diamond. Ameland has beautiful dunes and woods and is surrounded by a splendid beach.
Tranquillity, calmness, open spaces and plenty of fresh air, is found here. Apart from
the 4 special and cosy villages, Ameland has a lot more to offer. Ameland is guaranteed a perfect place for a holiday. The
expanses of natural beauty form the backcloth for rare flora and fauna, while the relaxed atmosphere and hospitality of the islanders lend that
special charm. Another world... which can be reached on one of the luxury ferries which depart from Holwerd in Friesland a number of times a
day.
Ameland
has more to offer than just that. There are 14.000 hectares of nature reserve. The four museums provide a cultural accent to your holiday.
Ameland also has its own cultural theme festival. For children there are several interesting activities available, like beachcombing, fly kites,
shell finding and rambles with horse and wagon. In short, an Island suitable for the whole family.
Ameland has
quaint villages but explodes with tourists during summer. Ferries from Den Helder,
Harlingen, Holwerd and Lauwersoog connect the islands to the mainland.
Ameland,
well worth a holiday!
