Walking routes with distances from 3 to 25 kilometres and even 50 kilometres. All of them, here on Ameland.

On Ameland, you will also find several routes for young and old. The Paddenpad on Ameland is a fun route for young children. The path is 2.1 km long and the starting point is at Nes Nature Centre. From there, you walk a short distance along the outskirts of Nes. Pretty soon you end up in the forest and have a choice of routes. Also perfect for walking with your dog!

For the real hiking enthusiasts, Hollumerduinen and Lange Duinen are highly recommended. The footpath is 8.6 km long and the starting point is Oranjeweg.
