デルフセイル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The section from the Pilsum lighthouse to the dry beach was completely closed today (08/14/2023) as a dyke cycle path. Unfortunately, it is only signposted from Manslagt...

Just a tour in the wind. If you're lucky, tailwind. You can't drive much more relaxed. But would always take the tour of Greetsiel in the direction of Emden.

Always great to drive along the water. But be careful, there is currently a construction site here and you cannot drive along the entire dike.

The closure between Camping am Deich and Pilsumer Lighthouse is still in place, detours are signposted.

Beautiful spacious town center. There is water and history to discover on almost every corner. There are also plenty of places to stop for refreshments.

Very long bike path without variety. It can also get very windy behind the dike.

The Campen lighthouse is a so-called steel truss tower. At 65.30 m, it is the tallest lighthouse in Germany. It was built in 1889 and since then its beacon has guided ships safely past Borkum into the mouth of the Ems. Anyone who takes the trouble to climb the 308 steps to the lower gallery of the tower will be rewarded on a clear day with a view that extends to Borkum and across the Krummhörn to Emden.

The four-chamber lock is from 1840 and quite unique. Dieter Jacobs has been the lock keeper for 23 years. On asphalt roads, the Kesselschleuse would be a kind of roundabout – one of many. Nothing special you will think. True of course. However, this round lock is unique on Europe's waterways. Nowhere else will you find a facility that connects four converging bodies of water with different water levels. This lock creates a balance between the Ems-Jade Canal, the Fehntjer Tief, the Stadtgraben and the Roten-Siel-Tief, which leads towards the port of Emden. Built in 1885/86, it is more than 100 years old and has long been a monument - but it is still in operation. Its focal point is the Kessel, the round basin with a diameter of 33 meters in which ships can turn. The ships are channeled into this center via one of the four chambers. You leave it via one of the other three chambers, depending on your destination. The extraordinary structure was created together with the Ems-Jade Canal. It was the Prussians who wanted a waterway between Wilhelmshaven and East Friesland. From 1880 onwards excavations begin. It's about 72 kilometers. https://emden.eezeebee.com/places/details/22
