Historic Houses of Hollum

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Whaling brought prosperity to Ameland, and during that period, many houses were built, the so-called "commander's houses." Many of these houses have been preserved and are still inhabited.
Besides the houses, many whale bones have been preserved; these so-called "Kakebienen" (whale bones) still adorn many gardens.

On the way for a round of Ameland. Over the dike along the mud flats against the wind (nice by the way) to Nes. Unfortunately a flat tire there so called auxiliary troops and first turn around. Shame! See if we can "charter" another bike.

Always by the water. Lots of nature. In Nes, we ate kibbeling and drank a decent beer. In the evening, there was a pizza buffet.
