With Karin, we cycled through East Frisia in the best weather and saw some beautiful harbors. The well-attended bocce games on the main road were also very worth seeing. However, in the sunny weather, the beautiful places were all very busy and in some places it was really narrow on the paths. The closure of the dyke path from Harlesiel …

For shopping in Esens, historically the main town of the Harlingerland.

We were truly surprised to find the Way of St. James up here in the north! On the signposted cycle path from Bensersiel to Carolinensiel, we came across this famous path near Werdum.
A building contractor had created a kind of "castle" at the fork in the path. Beautiful!
A little further on, there was a "real mill" that still …

Set off in the rain and then thank God the sun ☀️ came out from Bensersiel ☺️ There's a bear 🐻 parade in Esens, unfortunately you'll have to go through it now 📷, I didn't feel like making any more collages after a long day 🤓 The most beautiful section was over the dike, fantastic and lots of sheep 🐑🐑🐑🐑 …

Due to dyke work, it is currently not possible to use the cycle path along the dyke between Carolinensiel and Neuharlingersiel, so we first went along the main road with a headwind, but at least it is a good cycle path😅. The route from Utgast to Esens was a dream with a tailwind😊

Today was the first tour with Bärbel on the North Sea. Construction site on the dike to Carolinensiel. Met nice people from Duisburg in the harbor. Then at Jessen's we had delicious Bismarck herring in a roll. In Werdum at the mill we had a piece of apple pie for the two of us with our cappuccino 🤣. In Esens …

I finally wanted to try out an e-bike and rented one while on holiday. It was really great, but here too you notice German road conditions, there are enough bike paths but the condition leaves a lot to be desired in some places.

Currently, a detour due to construction site along the Benser Tief to Esens. As of 23.06.2026
