UNESCO World Heritafe Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal

Ir. D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station The D.F. Woudagemaal in the town of Lemmer is the world's largest steam pumping station still in working condition. The pumping station was opened in 1920 by Queen Wilhelmina for the purpose of pumping excess water from Friesland into the Zuyder Zee, the present-day IJsselmeer. The imposing brick building is austere and functional, in line with the architectural style of the Amsterdam School. In 1966, the electrically driven J.L. Hoogland pumping station in Stavoren took over the task of the steam pumping station in Lemmer. And yet, even today, the historic D.F. Woudagemaal plays a crucial role in extreme conditions. In cases of extremely high water, the old steam pumping station is deployed to drain excess water into the IJsselmeer as quickly as possible. The D.F. Woudagemaal has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1998.

Jopie Huisman Museum

Het Jopie Huisman Museum is gewijd aan het werk en de filosofie van de Friese autodidacte schilder Jopie Huisman. Van jongsaf aan tekende en schilderde Jopie zijn eigen wereld; de mensen en de natuur rond Workum, het stadje waar hij geboren was en opgroeide. Vanaf 1974 wordt zijn werk gekenmerkt door de heel eigen, fijne penseelvoering waar hij zo beroemd mee is geworden. De handel in lompen en metalen vormde zijn belangrijkste bron van inspiratie. Hij was gefascineerd door de menselijke achtergrond van de afgedankte spullen die zij meebrachten. De combinatie van zijn techniek en het indringende verhaal achter zijn werk spreekt een groot publiek zeer aan. In 1986 werd een aanzienlijk deel van zijn oeuvre ondergebracht in een eigen museum. Sinds de oprichting hebben al meer dan 2 miljoen mensen het museum bezocht. Jaarlijks heeft het museum een tijdelijke extra tentoonstelling in de geest van Jopie.

We visited the great museum and enjoyed an hour or so learning about this incredible artist and his life. Would strongly recommend.

Vuurtoren Ameland

Reviewed By hannasoph13 - Trier, Germany

Had the chance to go up the lighthouse right before nightfall. Therefore I was up there by myself. The climb was a part of a tour I booked which included also a walk through the woods and along a part of the beach with a guide explaining the special circumstances regarding amelands nature. Even though I was the only one who showed up for the tour I was given the full experience nevertheless. From the lighthouse you have a great overview over the island and if the weather is nice you‘ll even be able to see the island neighboors. Inside the lighthouse you‘ll find interesting facts about the history of the Tower itself and of Ameland.
