Unless a wooden footbridge is added - and I counted correctly - this is actually only the second bridge over the Ems, which is only a few hundred meters old. But it flows quite stately and picturesquely over the typical white senna sand. And this bridge in the valley is also a nice place to get a first impression of the headwaters and the Senne landscape there. Only the characteristic heath and sand areas can be found after the short climb!
