Cyclists and hikers

Ostfriesland is extremely suitable for cyclists and hikers. A large number of bicycle- and hiking routes are available here. Even combined bicycle-canoe routes. For this a special Paddel- und Pedalstationen has been created.

Friese Heerweg

A bicycle excursion over the 400 km long "Friese Heerweg" is a journey through history. Along this route you will find the oldest tracks of human establishments.

German Fehnroute

The word fen is of Germanic origin and in this area of Germany is associated with a particular method of cultivation in use during the 17th century that involved digging canals and secondary channels to drain areas of marshland. Several places along the route still retain the word "fehn" as part of their name.
