It is a special experience to follow the entire course of a river from the source to the mouth. This is what the Ems cycle path offers, which runs from Hövelhof in the Senne to the mouth of the Ems in the North Sea in Emden.
From the source to the mouth: The Ems cycle path leads cyclists through idyllic landscapes, past towns, castles and forests to the sea.
The Ems is only passable for ships from the second half of the river. Cyclists, on the other hand, can follow the course of the river on a stretch of around 380 (189km in North Rhine-Westphalia) kilometers on quiet, asphalted paths from the source to the mouth. From the bike you can experience how the Ems grows from a narrow river to a stately stream on its way to the North Sea.
With almost no gradients, the river cycle path leads away from busy roads through the idyllic landscapes, repeatedly directly along the water, but also into the historic towns to the left and right of the Ems. The route is therefore suitable for cyclists with sporting ambitions as well as for recreational cyclists and families with children.
