August 19, 2024,19.08.2024 🇳🇱 Ameland 🏝️

Beautiful island, 50 minutes by ferry that juggles its way through the Wadden Sea, there at high tide, back at low tide
It's worth renting a bike, it's spacious
We treated ourselves to E because of the mountains 🤪🏔️ and the storms 🌪️
and still didn't manage to get to the far east

August 17, 2025,Rund um Ameland 🚴🏻‍♂️😃👍

Today, with force 4 winds and drizzle, I took a trip from Nes to the lighthouse on the west coast of Ameland. Last night, while swimming in the North Sea during high tide, force 4 winds were really good, and the waves were awesome. 🌊😉

After the morning hike, I had freshened up, Udo had set the table, and fetched fresh rolls and croissants. We had fortified ourselves, as our destination was the lighthouse in Hollum. For me, this was a training exercise for my fear of heights, and it's getting better every time. 😅 I enjoyed it.
Of course, we stopped at the cheese …

So - now we're ready for the island 🇳🇱😍

Our first holiday on the island of Ameland.

We rented bikes (and a dog basket) and off we went: our exploration of the island!

We started in Nes and drove along the southern edge of the island (wonderful view of the Wadden Sea) to Hollum. On the way we passed countless …

March 22, 2025,Ameland 🇱🇺 - Umrundung bis die 🌞 unten war 😎

Today I planned my circumnavigation of the island for the 40-kilometer Garmin Weekend Challenge.
I set off in winds of force 5 to 7. The 26 kilometers against the wind were quite draining on the battery, but it was just enough.
I planned the trip specifically so that I could be on the beach in Hollum in time for sunset.

April 22, 2022,Runde von Ameland

Maximum longest possible round trip on the outermost paths of Ameland. The tour leads in the north over the Dünenweg and in the south along the dike. To the west you look across to the neighboring island of Terschelling and to the east you can see Schiermonikoog from Ameland's highest point. The paths are great to drive on. Either paths …
