Highlight • Viewpoint

There is now a snack bar at the “Aal & Krabbe” restaurant at the front of the harbor (galley). This now appears to be the "replacement" for the former fish shop across the street.

Although the Port of Varel is no longer of importance as a trading port, more and more people appreciate the unmistakable atmosphere and the recreational value. varelerhafen-touristik.de/geschichte.html

Unfortunately, a large part of the tour is on the country road. The bike path is mostly very bad, and very bumpy and a lot of crazy drivers race past you at a monkey-like speed. We will not do the tour again.

Our longest North Sea bike tour with the whole family. After the ferry ride from Eckwarderhörne to Wilhelmshaven, we cycled around the Jade Bay back to the Oberfeuer Eckwarden.

The route is very idyllic, of course extremely flat and relaxing. I could roll along there in a relaxed manner forever, ideally with my arms on the handlebars the whole time.

Part two of the Jade Bay circumnavigation - with wind 💨at storm strength! 55 km/h from the front is a different number 😅

Start at the Helgoland-Kai in Wilhelmshaven, over with the passenger and bicycle ferry to Eckwarderhörne. First along the dyke, then on the (rather boring) diversion route to Dangast. First recording 😊 🥗🐟 ☕️ at the beach café, then further on and next to the dike to Wilhelmshaven. This section of the route was the most beautiful part of this 🚲 …

We cycled around the Jade Bay on a rental bike from Tossens. We took the ferry back from Wilhelmshaven to Eckwarderhörne. There was a lot going on along the way and some funny people were there too!
