Ostfriesland Hiking Trail Former Railway Line

Highlight • Trail

This isn't an avenue, it's a former narrow-gauge railway line.

Great for cycling, but also part of the East Frisian hiking trail.

Eiklenborg Windmill (Mühle Eiklenborg) in Leer-Logabirum

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful windmill that is still in working order. It is a two-story gallery-style windmill with four louvre-style wings. The mill was built in 1895 and is a listed historic monument. It is privately owned. You can watch the raising of the young storks on a screen. It might also be worth a visit for children.

Those who wish can also spend the night in the miller's house. (Eiklenborg Mill) Logabirumer Str. 55, 26789 Leer (East Frisia). Breakfast is served on the windmill's oat loft. Group overnight stays are available.

Inquiries: eiklenborg.de
By the way, East Frisia is always worth a visit. :-)

Ostfriesland Hiking Trail – Stadt Leer Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

At almost 97 kilometers, the Ostfrieslandwanderweg is the oldest and longest hiking trail in East Friesland. It starts just behind the Hoffnungskirche in Rhauderfehn and takes us via Ihrhove and Leer via Aurich to Bensersiel.
This section, marked here as a highlight, is the connection from the popular Julianenpark in Loga near the city center to the relaxing Logabirum forest. From here, the route continues via Brinkum to Holtland, where there are other interesting route planning options.
In part, the hiking trail runs over old small train tracks and is usually a tree-lined forest path, like here, occasionally paved. On the way you will also find sculptures that make the Ostfrieslandwanderweg even more interesting.
the name is a creation of the Wiehengebirksverband Weser-Ems. You can find more information about the hiking trail and other tourist highlights in East Friesland here:
