After repairs in 2020 (partly with two concrete lanes or completely re-asphalted), the leech path between Arle and Nesse has become a "cream piece" for cycle tours in the region around Arle, Dornum and Hage. The path meanders through the Arler and Nesser Hammrich through old grass and pasture land and along a small forest and follows the line of earlier lows with its zigzag course. Its name commemorates the earlier use of the path when the deceased were brought from Nesse to the church in Arle for burial. If you look closely, you can still see the traces of an old mound near Nesse in the Meeden. While the towns of Nesse and Arle were on natural elevations on the edge of the Geest, the farmsteads in today's Hammrich had to be built on terps to be flood-proof.

Normally I'm a bit skeptical when entire sections of the trail are marked as highlights. But this trail deserves it. In places it leads through endless expanses, sometimes right along the forest, and everywhere it is perfectly passable.

beautiful path on concrete slabs away from traffic, with a view of a multitude of "new" windmills
