You have to imagine the Ems before the bridge was built by Jann Berghaus in Leer, the railway bridge in Weener and the crossing in Papenburg in order to understand the importance of the ferries here on the Ems, especially for the Rheiderland. Today, the last remaining ferry in Rheiderland may seem like a nostalgic bon mot. Once upon a time, however, the importance of ferries was economically essential.

The Petkum harbor is the starting point for the Ems ferry from Petkum to Ditzum.
You save yourself the long detour via Leer and are therefore quicker for tours in the Reiderland or even to Holland.
