16.4 km

The DEK is easy to drive on large parts. Unfortunately, some detours lead through deep sand and fairly busy roads without bike lanes. There are also stretches with very uneven surface. Most of the channel is passable on both sides.

Geeste Reservoir North Beach

Highlight • Lake

The artificial lake was built in the 1980s as a cooling water basin for the Emsland nuclear power plant, twelve kilometers away. It is about two kilometers long and just over a kilometer wide at its widest point.

Geeste Reservoir East Shore

Highlight • Lake

Really nice there if you drive around by bike
You feel like you're on vacation
And then stop off at the top of the dyke
Unfortunately, on a Sunday when the weather is nice, it's always very crowded there
