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 …

West-Grossefehn Drawbridge on the Grossefehn Canal

Highlight • Bridge

Timmeln is always worth it.

There are many bascule bridges in Friesland and East Frisia. That's why it's nothing special anymore. The newest ones are no longer needed anyway because the corresponding ships are unfortunately missing in the canals
