Ostfriesland Hiking Trail

Highlight • Trail

East Friesland through the back door. ;-) Beautiful scenic route, mostly away from traffic. It is one of the longest railway tracks in Germany. The entire route begins in Leer and ends after 69 kilometers in Bensersiel. The trail largely follows the former Jan Klein railway line.

View of Lake Tannenhausen

Highlight • Lake

Due to the white gravel beach, locals jokingly call it the "Rimini of East Frisia". The best water quality is also why the Tannenhausen bathing lake is so popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. Directly on the lake, there is a holiday home area with high-quality houses in the typical East Frisian style. You can book the accommodations through us. At the Tannenhausen bathing lake, there is an area specially designed for dogs (fenced and accessible via its own door), where owners can now relax together with their four-legged friends.

The nationwide TV magazine TV Hören und Sehen rated Germany's most beautiful bathing lakes in one of its 2009 issues. The Tannenhausen bathing lake is also among the 50 best bathing lakes. This also confirmed that the Aurich district of Tannenhausen has the best bathing lake in East Frisia.

Tannenhausen bathing lake

Highlight • Lake

The Tannenhausen bathing lake is also affectionately called the “Rimini of East Frisia”.
The white pebble beach is the reason why the East Frisians call the swimming lake in the Aurich district of Tannenhausen the “Rimini of East Frisia”. Thanks to the best water quality, the lake is very popular, both among locals and holidaymakers. If you want to spend the typical East Frisian night in the immediate vicinity of the lake, you can do so in the holiday home area right on the lake!
There are no specific opening times as the swimming lake is freely accessible.
