EuroVelo 12 Coastal Cycle Path – Niedersächsisches Wattenmeer National Park

Highlight • Cycleway

The EuroVelo 12 takes you north of Bremen on smooth asphalt right along the water. The views of the sea on one side and the flat land on the other are always attractive.

Small upstream fishing port, after the reclamation of new areas created from land reclamation, since the actual place was then too far away from the water. One of the best restaurants in the area is here.

The outward tour was great but going back against the wind was tough and we reached our limits

Once again strapped the e-bikes onto the rear rack and parked 68 km after Weddewarden directly on the dike and at the end of the container terminal. From there, drove towards Cuxhaven on the Weser dike. Top the free toilets at the harbor in Dorum Neufeld and Spieka Neufelde 🙂. Not so nice that a visit to the beaches in …

Today we transported the e-bikes on the little Frenchman to Bremerhaven to the Imsum car park at the container terminal. From here, in good weather with a tailwind, we went as far as possible along the North Sea to Duhnen and returned to the car in the late afternoon. Here's a little tip. Coffee and cake at Jörg Itjen's bakery …

Today we went on another wonderful tour to Cuxhaven in great weather 😃👍😀. The contrast between the port in Bremerhaven and the beautiful landscape along the North Sea dike couldn't be more extreme.
After around 800 km, our beautiful bike tour to the North Sea is now unfortunately over. But the many experiences and impressions will remain.

August 20, 2021,Weserradweg Tag 1: Cuxhaven - Bremerhaven

From the starting point on the dike we went behind the dike and the route stayed there all day. There were also a few beautiful views and at the end the overseas port in Bremerhaven, including a blocked bridge (probably blocked so long that a bike diversion has already been set up).
