North Coast cycle path

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

Cycle to the romantic fishing village of Greetsiel, the largest shrimp cutter port in the Weser-Ems region. Treat yourself to a short break before the journey continues north.

First you head to the seaside resort of Nessmersiel before reaching the North Sea resort of Dornumersiel. It is located directly on the North Sea coast with a breathtaking panoramic view of the offshore islands of Baltrum and Langeoog. Many colorful sailboats line the jetties in Bensersiel harbor from spring to autumn, creating a pretty maritime picture. Esens describes itself as the East Frisian chieftain town.

Carolinensiel-Harlesiel with its 3 harbors is unique on the East Frisian North Sea coast. The seafaring and fishing tradition of the seaside resort of Hooksiel on the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea goes back over 700 years. Wilhelmshaven was founded in 1869 by King Wilhelm I of Prussia as a naval garrison due to its unique and protected location, and the town is still Germany's largest naval base today.

Today you cycle along the Jade Bay towards Blexen where a ferry (not included) takes you to Bremerhaven. (approx. 75 km / 47 mi)

Optionally, on some dates you can also take the ferry from Wilhelmshaven (not included and only possible when the ferry is running) to Eckwarderhörne and continue cycling along the coast. (approx. 45 km / 28 mi)

You will pass through the Land Wursten with its coastal towns on the “Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park” and reach Cuxhaven with sights such as the Kugelbake and Hamburg lighthouse.

Today, a day trip by ferry or covered wagon (depending on travel conditions) to the island of Neuwerk is possible. The island's most impressive building is the lighthouse of the same name. Alternatively, you can stay in Cuxhaven or enjoy a mainland cycle tour by the sea.

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension.
