Herbrum Lock

Highlight • Structure

Always a highlight for the tech geeks among us. Usually, there's the opportunity to see large ships up close.

Ems Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

We drove between Papenburg and Meppen, the route runs almost entirely along the Ems and is well signposted. A nice tour on impeccable bike paths. 👍

It's fun to ride here and enjoy the beautiful view of the water and the boats. You can also take a break in the harbor café. If you want to stay longer, here are also houses and a campsite.

All information can be found at marinapark.de.

View of Steinbild and the Ems River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Point Of View", so to speak, is a really good one. From here you have a beautiful view of the area on the Ems in front of Steinbild. Not the hammer highlight, that should be clear, but nice.

Dortmund-Ems Canal Directional Sign

Highlight • Monument

Mouth of the Küstenkanal into the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

This sign is merely a guide for ships coming from Oldenburg via the Küstenkanal...starboard leads to Emden, and port to Münster-Dortmund.

The Küstenkanal does cross the Dortmund-Ems Canal, but not in the form of a classic waterway intersection with a bridge over another navigable waterway. Instead, it flows into the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

Therefore, the phrase "Ems-Küstenkanal waterway intersection" is misleading. The Küstenkanal is a connection that links the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the Hunte, but not an independent waterway intersection.

The Ems cycle path from Dollart to Lathen is very worthwhile. It offers a lot of impressions. We had the disadvantage that we almost only had a headwind with gusts of up to 70 km/h.

This morning, in midsummer temperatures, we set off on the Ems Cycle Path toward Aschendorf and then on to Papenburg. Because of the excellent asphalt surface by our standards, we were moving very quickly. Someone must have taken Duracell tablets or enjoyed cookies from the coffee shop.

Actually, the tour was supposed to go to Papenburg, but the further north I got, the gusts of wind increased and small branches flew through the air. Postponed is not lifted, that is, at a later point in time for a new one. Was such a nice tour. A particular highlight was the crossing with the Leher Pünte - the …

It was getting colder and then also humid...
Unfortunately, the outlook for the next few days is cloudy.
Tour finished, then continues from Papenburg next time.
Still it was a nice experience.

Nice tour that is easy to drive. The Ems cycle path is almost perfectly paved in the area between Lathen and Aschendorf, so that it should actually be possible for everyone to drive on the route.
