Nes Historic Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic center of Nes is well worth seeing because of the old buildings (captain's houses) from the 17th to 18th centuries. In some cases whale bones can still be found in the front 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.
