Ameland is een gemeente en een van de West-Friese eilanden voor de noordkust van Nederland. Het bestaat grotendeels uit zandduinen. Het is het derde grootste eiland van de West-Friezen. Het grenst aan de eilanden Terschelling in het westen en Schiermonnikoog in het oosten. Dit omvat de kleine Engelsmanplaat- en Rif-eilanden in het oosten. Ameland is, gerekend vanuit het westen, het vierde bewoonde Nederlandse waddeneiland en behoort tot de provincie Friesland / Fryslan. Het hele eiland valt onder één gemeente, die dezelfde naam draagt. De Waddeneilanden vormen de grens tussen de Noordzee en de Waddenzee die aan de zuidkant van het eiland ligt. De gemeente Ameland had in 2014 een bevolking van 3.591 inwoners. De inwoners heten Amelanders. Het eiland heeft vier dorpen en een klein deeldorp. Vroeger waren er nog twee andere dorpen: Oerd en Sier, maar deze zijn overspoeld en liggen nu in de zee. De naam van deze dorpen leeft voort in MS Oerd en MS Sier, de namen van de veerboten naar het eiland.

It consists mostly of sand dunes. It is the third major island of the West Frisians. It neighbours islands Terschelling to the West and Schiermonnikoog to the East. This includes the small Engelsmanplaat and Rif islands to the East. Ameland is, counted from the west, the fourth inhabited Dutch Wadden island and belongs to the Friesland/Fryslan province. The whole island falls under one municipality, which carries the same name. The Wadden islands form the border between the North sea and the Wadden sea which lies on the south side of the island file. The municipality of Ameland had a population of 3,591 in 2014. The inhabitants are called Amelanders. The island has four villages, and one small part-village. In former days, there were two other villages: Oerd and Sier, but these were drowned and now lie in the sea. The name of these villages live on in MS Oerd and MS Sier, which are the names of the ferries to the island.

Exploring the North in the Netherlands
The Provinces of Groningen and Friesland in the Netherlands lay at the northern most coastline of the country, with ferries connecting to the Islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog.
Quaint face bricked villages with cobblestone roads are speckled over the countryside. The Dutch use their favorite way of transport from one town to the other - their bicycles - mostly happily chatting away with their buddies on two rolling wheels. The girls are predominantly tall, strikingly beautiful with long hair flying in the wind.
Others move around with their boats through the narrow water channels. Draw bridges make way as they approach.
The Dutch enthusiasm for artful flower arrangements is visible at every window and even the smallest garden is blooming in full splendor. The sun tints the country side in the most vivid colors, so that even ordinary cornfields contrast beautifully with the blue sky.
Infinite are the bicycle roads on the Dykes, which invite long rides with an unobstructed view to the Wadden Sea. One day the weather is peaceful, the next day it will change and show a harsh face.

Basic Topografie
In this video we ask you to locate The Netherlands on the map of Europe. Are you able to?
The Netherlands are better known as Holland. It is a very small country. Most foreiners don’t know where to find it.
In this video we will show you where it is located.
Holland is surrounded by the countries Germany, Belgium, France and Great Britain.
Nearest capitals: London, Berlin, Paris and Brussels,
headquarters of The European Union.
We show you flashes of the best known Dutch cities:
Amsterdam, capital of The Netherlands, famous for its canals lined with 17th century houses.
Rotterdam, Europe’s largest port, and well known for its modern architecture.
The Hague, where the Dutch gouvernement has it’s residence, as well as the ’International Court of Justice’, located in ‘Het Vredespaleis’ which means ‘the Peace Palace’.
About the Dutch waters:
The Netherlands borders the North Sea.
In the north there are 5 inhabitant wadden islands.
The Wadden Sea is UNESCO world heritage.
Before 1927 there was a large sea in the middle of the country, the Zuiderzee. After the construction of a 30 kilometer barrier dam, the 'Afsluitdijk’, it became a freshwater lake. The name was changed to IJsselmeer.
Major rivers Rhine and Meuse flow through the Netherlands to the North Sea.
All this water together and the fact that the most of The Netherlands is below sea level, is a serious threat to the Dutch population.
See how the Dutch defend themselves against the water in our interesting video ‘The battle against the water’.

The Netherlands is a country located mainly in Northwestern Europe. The European portion of the Netherlands consists of twelve separate provinces that border Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and the North Sea to the northwest, with maritime borders in the North Sea with Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Including three island territories in the Caribbean Sea—Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba— it forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The official language is Dutch, but a secondary official language in the province of Friesland is West Frisian.
Beautiful Texel (Slideshow)
Texel is a municipality and an island with a population of 13,641 in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. It is the largest and most populated island of the West Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea.
The dune landscape on Texel is a unique habitat for wildlife. Notable areas include De Slufter, where the tide comes in and meets the dunes, forming a marshy environment rich in both fauna and flora. Texel is known for its wildlife, particularly in winter, when birds of prey and geese take up residence. About one third of Texel is a protected nature reserve. A wetland called Utopia has been designed for birds to nest in.

Why does Frisia have its own language?
About 1300 years ago the Frisians inhabited the dutch Coast, but also parts of Germany and Denmark. These days, they're largely contained in their own province of Frisia. They have their own flag, their own sports and in particular their own language: Frisian, or to put it in Frisian: it Frysk.
Frisian is a mandatory subject in school and is therefore spoken by three quarters of the population. Most Frisians also speak Dutch, but as Frisian is an official language you can use it when dealing with the government and even in a court of law. Though it helps if your lawyer also speaks Frisian. If not, there's always Google Translate.
Frisian is closely related to both English and Dutch. You can even take a university course in it, but oddly enough you have to go to Frisia’s neighbour, the province of Groningen. If you sign up for the course, you can forget about the letters x and q. The Frisians have tossed them out ages ago. Too fancy.
