Cute town with small rustic houses and a small market square with various restaurants and cafes. Everything designed for tourists.

On the way to the island of Langeoog you drive through the small town. The historic old town is well worth seeing. It is worth taking a break and seeing the city.

The former chief town of Esen is popular with locals and guests alike: The city offers shopping, restaurants, cafes and tea rooms, some interesting museums and other attractions (such as the Tidebrunnen on the market square) and many beautiful old buildings in the pedestrian streets which cover almost the entire area Include downtown.

The city of Esens received city rights under the rule of the Friesian chief Junker Balthasar as early as 1527. The earliest documented mention of "Eselingis" comes from 1310.
The urban redevelopment allowed the special ambience of the small town to be maintained and emphasized, which makes the town today equally attractive as a supply center for tourism and as a living space for the citizens.
Today the Bear City is a service and shopping center. Only 4 km away directly on the coast is the North Sea spa Bensersiel with its Sielhafen and has been the ferry port for the island of Langeoog since 1859. In Bensersiel, as a district of the city of Esens, the guest will find a long sandy beach, ebb and flow, nature and adventure, as well as plenty of leisure facilities.

The tide fountain on the market square reflects the tides of the North Sea coast. The system fills up according to the water level in Bensersiel. The well water flows around the sculpture of a shipwreck made by the Würselen artist Albert Sous.
