Description
Farm and whalers house in Ballum on Ameland, the Whalers home was build in 1797, more then 200 years old!!
Ballum is a nice little village located at western part of Ameland, with a lot of historical old houses.
Ameland is one of the 6 Wadden islands north of the Netherlands.
The north side of the island is facing the open North Sea. In between Ameland and the mainland you find the Wadden sea; a paradise for birds. The Wadden Sea is a typical tidal zone area which turns into a mud-flat area with grooves and channels at low tide. The mainland you can see from the island.
Ameland is a 26 Km (17 miles) long and 3 km (2 miles) wide, except for the western part which is slightly broader. There are a few little villages and you find a lot of little houses build between 1700 and 1800, still in a perfect condition, nowadays with modern comfort. The most important houses were owned by the commandeers
