Historic Harbour of Weener

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic harbor is part of the old town of Weener. Together with the beautiful houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, this results in a picturesque cityscape. A really pretty little town well worth a visit.

Old Town, Leer

Highlight • Historical Site

The houses in the old town of Leer have been lovingly restored. A walk through the narrow streets is worthwhile because there is so much to discover: small shops, tea rooms, restaurants and many small details on the houses of the people who live here.
