"Let me present Ameland in view" Ameland Things to Do Tip by Pavlik_NL

Ameland, the pearl of the "Wadden" sea is reached by boat over this shallow sea. One boattour will take place through "geulen" and "prielen", the natural canals that are at hightide invisible at the bottom of the sea. The island is formed by a sandbank that got surfaced and became a dune. In ancient times this dune reached all along the coasts of The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, but was broken through on several places by the rising sealevel, creating the "Wadden" sea behind them. This sea is one of the richest natural environments on earth, holding an amazing amount of variation in plants and especially animals. Intensively you can experience this, by going "wadlopen" (Wad-walking), a tour on the bottom of the sea. The "Wadden" sea is before all an important breedingground for both fish and birds, as well as a food source for these and more living creatures.
