Bike Tour Eastern Frisia

East Frisian Compact

Matjes, moors and the North Sea

For four days, you will immerse yourself in the landscape of East Frisia, characterised by moors and the sea. Here, where chieftains once ruled, the views stretch far across the flat land, encountering fishermen's houses, shrimp boats and proud castles. Seals, moor toads and numerous bird species live here. And art also has its home here, for example in the Kunsthaus Emden. East Frisia spoils you with culinary delights such as prawns, matjes and the famous East Frisian tea. You will only be here for four days. But they will be intensive, eventful days. They will be enough to give you plenty of energy.

Itinerary

The information meeting and bike handover (if booked) take place in the late afternoon. The harbour town is home to several museum ships. If you like fish, you should try matjes or prawns here. One overnight stay in Emden.

Your cycle tour today takes you first to the picturesque fishing village of Greetsiel, the largest shrimp cutter harbour in the Weser-Ems region. Pretty old fishermen's houses still characterise the townscape today. Treat yourself to a portion of prawns. Then it's back on the bike. You will pass the Leybucht bay, where you may be lucky enough to spot seals. Your destination for today is Norden. Norden is considered the oldest town in East Frisia. The trees on the large market square, some of which are 250 years old, are impressive.

Today's route is characterised by the vast landscapes of East Frisia. You cycle to Dornum, past the most beautiful moated castle in East Frisia and reach the town of Wittmund.

You reach Aurich, where the East Frisian chieftains and counts once ruled the region, via quiet paths. The former capital of East Frisia invites you into its historic old town.  You follow the meanders of the Ems-Jade Canal and reach Emden on almost car-free roads. Your individual return journey starts here or you can extend your holiday.
