West-Grossefehn Drawbridge on the Grossefehn Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The core of the village "West-Großefehn" is still the central canal with bascule bridges. The two-story gallery Dutch windmill built towards the end of the 19th century also characterizes the townscape. A walk is worthwhile here.

Ostfriesland Trail Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is quite interesting, especially since the mill is in the immediate vicinity. However, the bike path towards Bagband is very bumpy.

A beautiful Friesland mix: mills, moor, nature and canals. Of course, you have to reckon with the paved sections of the route here.

Today's bike tour took us over many "impassable" bike paths. The route went along some mills.
The Ostfriesen Bräu had tasty beer 🍺🍺🍺🍺, we hadn't tried the food there (but smelled very good) because we had other plans for the evening (barbecue).
