Bridge Over the Aper Tief

Highlight • Bridge

Between Detern and Apen we drive along the small river that leads us from the confluence with the Jümme to this nature reserve. If you change to the right, i.e. northern, waterfront shortly before Apen, you will also pass the Hengstford mill.

Jümme River

Highlight • River

Variety for the whole family

In southern East Frisia, along the Jümme, the towns of Detern, Filsum and Nortmoor form the joint municipality. Each of the places is unique and worth visiting.

Detern, a historic market town, was once the gateway to East Frisia. Detern discovered tourism early on and is a state-recognized resort.

Filsum is a typical East Frisian clustered village with many historic agricultural buildings in the town center. The “XXL East Frisian”, known from television, also lived here.

Nortmoor, in the immediate vicinity of the town of Leer, is also characterized by agriculture, but also by a large industrial area where the Bünting food company is based.

View of Evenburg Avenue

Highlight • Viewpoint

Avenues are streets or paths that are bordered on both sides by uniform rows of trees or separated in the middle by a row of trees. The trees on both sides of the path are planted systematically at equal distances and at the same age with approximately the same planting quality...

Old Town, Leer

Highlight • Historical Site

The houses in the old town of Leer have been lovingly restored. A walk through the narrow streets is worthwhile because there is so much to discover: small shops, tea rooms, restaurants and many small details on the houses of the people who live here.

A bridge no wider (1.80 m) than a bicycle is long, with its own traffic lights.

Depending on the wind direction, you can easily roll along a lonely road here.
It rolls along the "Barßeler Tief", where the road follows the course of the river.
Asphalt is good!

Barßel Marina

Highlight • Structure

There is a good view of the Barßeler Hafen with its original mini lighthouse from a beautiful viewing platform. You can't set sail on the "Queen of Texas" riverboat, but you can eat hearty Texan food. For a digestive walk, I recommend a short, fine hike along the dyke to the Schnappburg (at the Soeste/Nordloher Tief/Barßeler Tief river triangle).

Back at the port you can take a trip on the MS Spitzhörn, round trips take place on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The museum ship "Angela von Barßel" is also worth a visit.

July 19, 2024,Von Barßel entlang der Leda nach Leer, zurück dann an der Jümme entlang...
The starting point for today's tour was Barßel. And it started with a shock: we had forgotten the charging cable from the power bank to the route planner. We thought for a moment: the next TEDI is not far away. They helped us there....

Today, with a short stop at the self-service bus, we went again through the Hammrich to Leer, where there was coffee and a delicious piece of cake at Cafe Sissi Torte in the old town ☕️🍰😋

Nice tour for nature lovers.
It is still very busy up to the nature reserve, after that it is wonderfully quiet.
Always along the Jümme or the Leda and past lake landscapes.
Over the narrowest bridge in Europe and also a trip on a Pünte.
The route is partly paved but partly a bit bumpy.
On this tour you should …

A sunny June day, pleasant temperatures and we are once again exploring a beautiful piece of East Friesland.
Start/finish of today's round is a parking lot near Stickhausen Castle near Detern.
We follow the course of the rivers Jümme, Leda and Ems on excellent cycle paths. After a picnic in the smallest district of Leer, we take a look around …

February 5, 2025,Potshuser oll Karkhoff
In the Hammrich between Leda and Jümme, several medieval settlements existed that later had to be abandoned, probably because of the rising sea level. One of these settlements is the "Oll Potshuser Karkhoff" from which a slight elevation of perhaps one meter is clearly visible, especially in winter. The eponymous assignment to Pothausen is arbitrary, Potshausen already existed before that.

Got wet again on the way to Leer but was immediately blown dry again by the strong breeze.
Delicious fish eaten at “Mein Genuss Reich”.
On the way back there was even a bit of sun but still a lot of wind.
