Today we were able to take another after-work tour on the way home to Cuxland.
@JuOp was here recently - thanks for the inspiration.
The Steenforths Moor is very scenic, but the waterway also had some nice corners to offer. At the waterworks there is also a drinking water educational trail where there is no drinking water. But at least …

Went for a walk 🥾🥾in Ammerland, today we are on the Wemkendorfer waterway, marked with a W. A very nice route, which can be found here @Ammerland Touristik in the original. Very well signposted, the route is easy to follow even without Komoot, so you don't have to keep looking at your phone. Only if you are inattentive or distracted …

In particular, the route through Steenforths Moor is very idyllic.
Along Kreyenstr. you walk on a footpath, on the path "Am Waldrand" the nearby motorway can sometimes be heard well.
