Jann-Berghaus Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The view over the Ems is always worthwhile. The trip to Emden through the Rheiderland and with the ferry from Ditzum is nicer.

Like so many historical buildings, the town hall in Leer is made of typical North German brick. Inside you can quickly see that Leer must have been a rich town in earlier times: ballrooms and beautiful ceiling paintings make the town hall the most impressive building in Leer. You can visit the town hall on a guided tour - you also climb up the tower.

You can find more information about the tour here: touristik-leer.de.

Leer Harbor

Highlight • Settlement

The first reason to visit Leer is the historic old town. It is considered the most valuable in the northwest due to the good condition of the historic buildings. No fewer than four (4!) castles can be found here in Leer, which indicates the importance of the city in the Middle Ages and modern times. The old town has a quaint and cozy feel. It is great fun to stroll through the old town on the partly historic pavement, to enjoy the many small and attractive shops and restaurants as well as the sights, especially since the historic harbor directly adjacent increases the overall ambience many times over in its magic. In short:
The old town of Leer with its pedestrian zone and the many historic buildings as well as the adjacent harbor are a dream sightseeing destination. An absolute feel-good place with 100% enjoyment guaranteed.
If you want to know more, you will happily find comprehensive information in a Wikipedia article about the city:

Ems Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Ems cycle path to the left of the Ems through the Rheiderland, at Halt near the popular restaurant and hotel "Reiherhorst" you come to a beautiful vantage point on the dike, from where you have a wonderful view of the Meyer shipyard and the Papenburg harbor.
It is worth stopping for a few nice shots or just to let your eyes wander. As already mentioned, the restaurant right behind is an excellent recommendation.

April 1, 2025,Leer - Pbg (Meyerwerft) bds der Ems

The road along the Ems from Pbg to Leer is closed at the Friesenbrücke (construction work). Construction workers waved people through on foot. A detour through the town is signposted. In Weener, "to the right of the harbor" is the wrong choice. So, turn left and then, at the end, over the barrage.

Sunday sun worshipers were out and about on their electric vehicles again today. Which they then cannot handle and then dismount and stop at the narrowest points. Only to find out that this was a stupid idea.
