Cycling on Ameland

Ameland has more than 80 kilometres of cycle paths linking its four villages with the dunes, the salt marshes and the wide North Sea beach.

• Four villages within easy reach: Hollum, Ballum, Nes and Buren lie one after another along the Wadden side of the island.
• No bike of your own? The bicycle hire shops on the island rent out standard bikes and e-bikes.
• Ready-made tours: the cycling routes below lead from the villages to the lighthouse, the sand dykes and the wild eastern tip.
• Nature along the way: woods such as Hollumer Forest and the dunes on the North Sea side are among the finest nature reserves.
• A quick trip to the sea: leave your bike at one of the beach access points and walk onto the wide beach.
