Aper Fehngebiet – themed bike Tours in Ammerland

03:09

52.2km

Cycling

You can start the round trip through the Aper Fehn area in Westerstederfeld, for example. The flat route takes you through the Ammerland park landscape and the East Frisian fen landscape. On the way you pass picturesque oak avenues, the unique Aper Tief, typical pasture landscape and enchanted moors. Again and again you will come across idyllic farms in this sparsely populated area and the bathing lake in Großsander offers a refreshing break on hot days.

Hengstforder Mill

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful mill and of course a very good restaurant. After refreshment, a bike tour or walk to the adjacent nature reserve Aper Tief is recommended.

Aper Tief nature reserve

Highlight • River

The Aper Tief is still influenced by the tides and boasts a very rare freshwater mudflat, a rich birdlife, and a well-maintained hiking trail starting at Hengstforder Mühle, where you can stop for a refreshment. The second half, however, follows a farm track, but it's also beautiful.

Old Staaßen Bridge on the Augustfehn Canal

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge, which is particularly worth seeing, is named after Christian Staassen, who served as a bridge keeper from 1911 to 1945 on the lock, drawbridge and bascule bridges on the Aper Tief. The bascule bridge spanned the Aper Tief until 1991 and formed an ensemble with the neighboring bascule bridge over the Nordloher Canal. Due to its limited carrying capacity, it was relocated to its current location on the Augustfehn Canal at the mouth of the Aper Tief.

The photos are completely uninteresting, but Komoot places them in the right place on the track, making it easier for me to write the log and assign the photos.

Today I did my last "City Cycling Tour 2024" I was still 50 km away from the 1000 km in the last 3 weeks. The ambition to increase the 950 km to 1000 is getting stronger.💪

We started off in the Aper Fehrn area via Westerstederfeld - Ihorst - Aperfeld to Aper Tief.

We're on the road again for a long weekend!
From Westerstede, we cycled into or around the Aper Fehn area! A very nice circular tour, along country roads and field paths! It's always impossible to avoid busy roads, but that was over quickly 😄! As long as there's a bike path, it's not so bad!

This tour on the day of departure of the one-week cycling holiday also showed us a lot about Ammerland and Emsland, above all nature. The Hengstforder Mühle and the art along the way were also beautiful and the closer we got to Westerstede, the more rhododendrons we could admire.

Our round trip has its starting point in Westerstede.
From here you cycle on completely flat paths through the wide fen landscape.
We are accompanied by countless water trains, pass the Aper low, drive along the Nordloher low, the Barßeler low and the Jümme.
We also accompany a part of the way the Südgeorgsfehnkanal and Augustfehnkanal.
With wonderful impressions of …
