The Emssee is very beautiful. Unfortunately you can't get to the lake directly, but you can watch it from a vantage point on the Ems cycle path.

With a bit of luck and a lot of patience, you will get to see rare bird species such as the Komoran or the kingfisher in front of your lens. For me it was enough for a couple of ducks and a stork. Nice too. 😁 By the way, a sign by the side of the road arouses curiosity for more: https://www.gruener-stern-emsradweg.de/index.php/sterne-am-emsradweg-m/ There is some nice background information about the Emssee.

Great landscape - the bike path is not paved, which is not bad with the fine gravel.
