The Ems, Northern Germany’s longest river, has its source near Hövelhof.

A worthwhile destination both by bike and on foot

It is beautiful and there are always great views. The deeply cut stream valleys are impressive.

Beautiful place in the forest

The Ems rises here from several small springs.

The Ems Information Center marks the starting point of the popular Ems Cycle Path, which runs approximately 385 km from Hövelhof in the Senne River to Emden on the North Sea. The exhibition aims to inspire anticipation of the beautiful landscapes cyclists will traverse along the Ems River, and the multitude of sights that are worth getting off their bikes for. Visitors receive information about the tourist attractions and experience the highlights along the Ems River before embarking on a trip. The information center vividly describes the Ems' source region, particularly the Ems's unique characteristics as seepage springs, which flow continuously throughout the year. Visitors can experience the Ems itself in a model or accompany a ship from the famous Meyer shipyard in Papenburg through the Ems barrage toward the North Sea.

It's amazing how something like this becomes a big river

A trip here is worthwhile
