Old barn from the building ensemble of the Bockholter ferry; crooked, and in the right weather, certainly scary, so well suited for stories ...

Bockholter Ems Ferry

Highlight • Structure

The small Ems ferry is great to translate in summer, a little highlight because it is not common. Can also be done on a mountain bike or on an e-bike.

Ems bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The whole landscape here is wonderful; the bridge blends in as if it had always been there. All around are idyllic spots for resting, sunbathing, picnicking, or simply relaxing.

March 27, 2024,Bockholter Emsfähre – Emsbrücke Runde von Emsdetten

I took the tour from Komoot and unfortunately didn't look at the route sufficiently beforehand. From Mesum to Rheine unfortunately via the cycle path along the main road. Positive: I rode despite the threat of rain and learned to take a closer look at Komoot's tours before we set off. 😀

A very nice tour. I drove them a little differently. I took the ferry across and drove from the other side of the Ems to the next bridge. Then I was back on the tour. Was a great trip.

Steakhouse returned 🤤. After such a portion, the way back via Mesum was twice as difficult.
