Ditzum Ferry and Harbor

Highlight • Rest Area

The port of Ditzum is special because it still contains many original elements that cannot be found anywhere else, such as the Bültjer shipyard, built in 1929, a special shipyard for wooden ships, which has been expanded and modernized several times since then. The ferry connection to Petkum has existed since the Middle Ages. The current vehicle was built in 1926 as a steam ferry and fitted with a diesel engine in 1953.

Dollart Dike Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Actually, the highlight should be a section of the route that describes the cycle path to the left of the Ems along the dollart to the Dutch border. Seen in this way, the route is definitely attractive for cyclists and, incidentally, also easy to drive on.

Ditzum is a small, beautiful town on the Ems at Dollart. There is a small harbor with a ferry connection to Petkum and to the harbor in Emden with a further journey to Delfzil.
