Glorious cycling in interesting landscape and sunshine
Wonderful easy cycling through farm lands and forests, along canal paths and other dedicated cycle ways on great surfaces. Enjoyed all the delightful towns we stayed overnight in. Would have been incredible if we‘d had an English edition of the guide and updates about the major construction works taking place between Meppen and Leer.

Emsradweg
Ein wunderschöner Radweg, in den Unterkünften wurden wir immer sehr nett empfangen, die Routenbeschreibung war sehr gut, die App ist sehr praktisch. Der Gepäcktransport hat immer pünktlich funktioniert. Wir planen schon die nächste Radreise mit Rückenwind !

Radeln durch malerische Landschaft, Übernachtung in schnuckeligen Städten
Münster ist allein noch mal eine Reise wert. Das Radeln durch die malerische Landschaft hat etwas Meditatives. Die schnuckeligen Kleinstädte haben manch Sehenswertes zu bieten. Papenburg und Leer waren am schönsten. Sehenswert: Saline Gottesgabe, Kloster Bentlage, Emsflower, Moor-Museum, Reiterhof, Gut Altenkamp, van-Velen-Anlage, Meyer-Werft, Bünting-Museum, Ems-Sperrwerk, Fähre Ditzum-Petkum u.v.m. Die Anfahrtsbeschreibungen zu den Hotels sollten noch einmal überarbeitet werden; sie stimmten oft nicht mit der Realität überein und führten zur Verwirrung. Das allerletzte Stück des Radweges nach der Fähre bis zum offiziellen Endpunkt war ein wenig enttäuschend - Industriegebiet.

Eine empfehlenswerte Emsradtour, ideal für Einsteiger
Wir fanden die Hinweise des Rückenwindmitarbeiters in Münster gut. Sehr schön, dass wir Jemanden von Rückenwind zur Begrüßung da hatten. Wetter war sehr gut, wie auch die Streckenlängen. Die Hotels waren alle gut bis sehr gut. Die Strecke ist wenig befahren, vom Untergrund her so mittelmässig, auch einige Radwegschäden. Die Orte, wie an einen Perlenschnur sind sehr schön, auch Zwischenstationen zum Pausieren waren möglich.
