Here you come across the Ems in a very unique way. The "Leher Pünte" is one of two rope-bound ferries across the Ems. It takes you to the other bank for little money from the beginning of May to October.

Timetable:
Sundays and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
during the holidays also on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

You can find more information at leher-puente.de.

Dortmund-Ems Canal Directional Sign

Highlight • Monument

Mouth of the Küstenkanal into the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

This sign is merely a guide for ships coming from Oldenburg via the Küstenkanal...starboard leads to Emden, and port to Münster-Dortmund.

The Küstenkanal does cross the Dortmund-Ems Canal, but not in the form of a classic waterway intersection with a bridge over another navigable waterway. Instead, it flows into the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

Therefore, the phrase "Ems-Küstenkanal waterway intersection" is misleading. The Küstenkanal is a connection that links the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the Hunte, but not an independent waterway intersection.

View of the Ems River

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view over the Emslauf. Otherwise, the Ems cycle path that runs here is great to ride and definitely recommended.

Cyclists' Café with View of the Marina

Highlight • Cafe

Great place to stop for a break with a beautiful view of the harbor. I'm looking forward to when they open again (currently closed because of the winter season) and I can come by again.
