Observation platform with a view of Großes Meer

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can go up and get an overview, but you get so close to the water anyway and the land is flat, the overview is just as good.

A nice round, but I would recommend the tour as a bike tour, since there are mostly long asphalted stretches.

April 28, 2024,Ums große Meer Südbrookmerland/Iron Lake Challenge 6.

We walked around the big sea in strong winds. The circuit consists of asphalted and cobbled paths. You share the route with bicycles and cars. There are small houses around the sea where you can rest or escape the wind for a while. The highlights of the circuit are the two punts, hand-operated ferry pontoons across the canals. There are …

As a result, the time and average speed are of course not correct and the photos are also a bit mixed up.] Update: Komoot has found the tour again, so …
