Tips from the Community
You can get a lot of items here. Very positive. However, we found the numerous prohibition and information signs on almost every table and bench disturbing. We didn't feel invited and drove on after a few minutes to the next break spot.

It's really nice to cycle in the surroundings of the Jümme, but one should consider the wind and the fact that there are mostly no cycle paths here and you have to ride on the roads. However, the traffic density here is not high and the views are impressive.

Scenically beautiful route to Papenburg, along the way there are small villages and the new Friesenbrücke bridge. There is also the option to cycle along the dike.

Great place to linger and take a break. Preferably with coffee and cake. Also a meeting point for Cycle Cafe.

It was built in 1891 with a miller's house and a bakery by the farmer Heinrich Lanwer from Strücklingen. The originally two-story gallery Dutchman was equipped from the beginning with two grinding gears and a peeling gear. In November 1972, the mill fell victim to a hurricane. Only a stone stump remained of the mill. After two years of construction, the gallery Dutchman shone again in new splendor in 2001.
