You can do this tour, but you don't necessarily have to do the part in the Netherlands. From Weener to Kiekkaasten, the path can only be used in front of the dike. The path to Kiekkaasten can be reached via a narrow wooden footbridge with a beautiful view of the Dollard. The only worthwhile destination on the route is Ditzum …

Started from Weener today and did a nice tour with four of us.🚴🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️ Most of the time along the dike. Ditzum invites you to linger with cafes ☕️🍰 terraces 🍺 and restaurants 🐟
On the way back 🚙 we had to stop at the Meyer shipyard. 🚢 📸

Today was a very nice tour through East Frisia and into the Netherlands. A particular highlight was the observation tower in the mudflats, which leads along a 500 m long wooden path through the reeds. The walk was well worth it.
And the excellent cycle paths in the Netherlands are always worth mentioning.

The route leads over the Leda, the wide East Frisian fen landscape and beautiful places to the Dollart. At this point, the view opens up, you can feel the fresh sea breeze and feel completely grounded.

Always along the dike or on top of it, you go to Ditzum, where of course fresh fish 🐟 and a cold beer 🍺 …

We continued towards the foreland of the dyke on a section of the Int. Dollard Route towards Ditzum. We passed the small harbor …

The route is a bit monotonous for me. A lot of it is along the dyke. Not again 🥱
