Always a highlight for the tech geeks among us. Usually, there's the opportunity to see large ships up close.

View of Steinbild and the Ems River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Point Of View", so to speak, is a really good one. From here you have a beautiful view of the area on the Ems in front of Steinbild. Not the hammer highlight, that should be clear, but nice.

Started in Haren with a slightly cloudy sky and arrived in Papenburg with the sun shining. Today there was a lot going along the Ems and / or Dortmund-Ems Canal. The most beautiful stage so far. The last stage will follow tomorrow.

Today, we started again in Haren on Kanalstraße, passing the old and new harbors, and then ran into a roadworks site, like several other cyclists. The industrial road is being renovated, but we were able to push our bikes through until the next junction.

Nice tour that is easy to drive. The Ems cycle path is almost perfectly paved in the area between Lathen and Aschendorf, so that it should actually be possible for everyone to drive on the route.

That was the last stage of the Ems Cycle Route. In Papenburg we reached the end of the first part of the tour, which we had already started at the beginning of July 2023 (see stages 8 and 9).
