    At first glance a nice tourist gag, but in fact the East Friesland equator was determined in 1974 by the cadastral office in Aurich. Don't forget the aquavit to celebrate!

      Before crossing the equator, the bench and table invite you to take a break.

        The "East Frisian Equator" was determined in 1974 by the Aurich Land Registry Office. The whole thing is apparently a tourist gag, probably at the instigation of the town of Aurich, in whose territory the spot on the East Frisian hiking trail lies. Anyone who cycles along the East Frisian hiking trail from Aurich towards the coast supposedly crosses the East Frisian Equator between Sandhorst and Plaggenburg. A sign attached to the archway explains that East Frisia extends between the 53rd and 54th degrees north latitude.
