June 1, 2024,Stadtrundgang durch Leer, das ziemlich voll war!

If you're already up here, a visit to Leer is a must. I wouldn't have thought that Leer could be so busy! There was some kind of street event in the city and the crowds of visitors reflected that! 😬 In the "Friesland Crime Novels" it is usually portrayed in a more tranquil way. Undertaker Habedank's "workshop" was found straight …

It was supposed to be 🌧️ and bad weather today. So I drove to Leer, rain jacket at the ready. The end of the story was that I spent money and got a rain shower, but otherwise the weather was great 🙈

Today we looked at the old town and the historic port of Leer.
I was totally impressed by both, I would never have thought that Leer had such a beautiful old town with a long shopping area. We certainly haven't seen everything yet, maybe next time.
It was such a beautiful day 🤩

A trip to Leer!
The gate of East Friesland!
It is worth it!

Picturesque old town, typical East Frisian tea rooms, lots of history and culture, right up to the lively leisure port in the middle of the city.

Empty... a very impressive city 😍!
