Today, we headed east from Nordeich along the coast to Dornumersiel. Initially, the cycle path ran along the outer dike until just before Hilgenriedersiel. Then we had to switch to the cycle path along the inner dike, as the Wadden Sea National Park's quiet zone began. However, a clever East Frisian

We had originally planned to take the 9 a.m. ferry, but thanks to a friendly ferry attendant, we were able to board the 8 a.m. ferry at the last minute. Much to our delight, as this meant we were on the island a little before the big rush.

Today we set off from Emden along the 3 Seas Trail. A small challenge along the way was crossing a canal with a punt (self-cranking ferry).

For a day trip to Juist, it's not easy to find a suitable connection due to the strong dependence on the tide, especially since the ferry only runs Mondays and Tuesdays. If you're willing to spend €92 per person, things are different. With a bit of luck, there are day trip offers for €39.40, but due

All East Frisian towns and villages share a common color: the rich brick red of their buildings. Whether residential buildings, farms, schools, town halls, churches, museums, train stations, or shops, even observation towers, garages, and garden sheds – the color red dominates everywhere. And all this in glorious sunshine.

The destination of our tour today was the Ewiges Meer nature reserve. With a water surface of approximately 91 hectares (0.91 km²), it is the largest raised bog lake in Germany. It is located approximately 9 km northwest of Aurich. The surface of the Ewiges Meer is approximately 8.5 m above sea level

After large sections of the coastal cycle path were closed on our tour yesterday, we made a new attempt today: From the north, we first went to Norddeich and then westward along the coast. It was worth it 😊

Today's start/finish was Emden. From there, we headed to the coast, then along the North Sea Cycle Route to Greetsiel. Unfortunately, the North Sea Cycle Route was partially closed, necessitating a rather scenic detour.

Today's tour first took us to Marienhafe, the retreat of the pirate Störtebeker, then on to Münkeboe, to the Dorp Museum (dörpmuseum-münkeboe.de) and the Lütetburg Water Castle (luetetsburg.com/de), and of course, a number of beautiful mills.
A curious experience in Marienhafe: Since the display case

The first day in East Frisia begins with a tour in and around the north. Ideal for "flat-stage cyclists"😅

Perfect cycling weather again today. First to Rheinstetten, then across the Rhine by ferry at Neuburgweiher, and then along the Palatinate side to Maximiliansau, where we crossed the Rhine again to the Baden side.

The weather was perfect this afternoon: dry, not too warm, and a light breeze. So, I hopped on my bike and started riding for the first time in a long time.

Today we cycled from Wörth along the Rhine embankment to Germersheim. Beautiful paths that also allow for a more strenuous ride, with long stretches in the shade and along the water.

The "Land and People" themed tour (norddeich.de/tour/thementour-land-leute) concludes our East Frisian exploration by bike. On the way to Norddeich, we stopped at the Norden weekly market, where we stocked up on provisions for our train ride to Karlsruhe tomorrow. 😋
