Beautiful dunes that keep changing

The Ameland Dunes area is characterized by a vast dune field that stretches across the entire length of the island. In the east and northwest corners, the island is growing, while coastal erosion is occurring near Nes and Buren. The area boasts a wide diversity of environments due to the significant variation in wet versus dry, fresh versus salt, and calcareous versus calcareous soils. In the east, the dunes are relatively calcareous, and the dynamics of drifting sand are high, resulting in a species-rich environment in the Kooiduinen and Oerderduinen dunes. In the west, the lowland peat bog of the Lange Duinen, the heathland, and the lichen-rich, old dune heads near Hollum are particularly noteworthy. The inner dune fringes contain a large area of wet dune heaths with crowberry and bell heather. The area also includes a few small forest complexes consisting of planted coniferous and deciduous forests and spontaneous regrowth.

Kurum: Ameland is simply beautiful!

From here you can easily cycle to the lighthouse of Ameland. The lighthouse of Ameland, also called Bornrif, was built in 1881 by order of King Willem III. Designed by Quirinus Harder and built by foundry Nering Bögel, the tower is 55.3 meters high and has 15 floors with 236 steps.

There are many great things to discover on Ameland: nature, culture, food and drink... We love being on Ameland, always beautiful! 🥰

Dunes, dunes, dunes, heath, lakes... great views and great bike path!

For a change, there are also a few cows and cattle on the route in the heath, on the side of the path and sometimes on the way😃

Most paths through the dunes are great with almost any bike and therefore worth planning all in one ride.
