Driving from Holwert

To the ferry

N356 · Holwert–Ameland

The N356 brings you from Leeuwarden into the village and on to the ferry dam. A starting point for an island day, not a themed route.

Ameland from Holwert

Wadden dike to Wierum and Moddergat

Coast road east

From the dike at Holwert you follow the coast, looking out over salt marsh and mudflats. Not a signed loop, but the natural Wadden drive.

Pier and Waiting for high tide

Short drive from the village

The ferry pier and Jan Ketelaar’s artwork sit a few minutes outside the centre. Best in evening light or at high tide.

Waiting for high tide

No official Eleven Cities driving loop runs through the village; Dokkum is the city. Holwert is the gate to the ferry, the dike and the Wad.
