Ems-Jade Canal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Ems-Jade Canal cycle path

Always along the water

On the banks of the Ems-Jade Canal, you cycle across the East Frisian peninsula, past small villages and past historic locks and bridges that preserve the original character of the region. On the tour you will experience three different landscape types: the marsh, the geest and the moor. The route leads from the old Emden inland port via Aurich to the naval town of Wilhelmshaven. Immediately in Emden you pass the boiler lock. A cultural-historical building and a listed rarity worth seeing. As you continue your journey, it is worth taking a detour to the Great Sea before heading to Ihlow, the geographical center of East Frisia. In the middle of Ihlow lies the 350 hectare forest with a monastery site, from whose roof turret you can take a look over the whole of East Frisia. In the municipality of Friedeburg, deciduous and mixed forests, nature reserves and the typical hedgerows provide plenty of green along the way.

Pure nature. And an almost completely completed new bike path - free of any car noise on this section.

Bridge over the Ems-Jade Canal. Here you can take a nice break with a larger group and everyone can sit.

Stiftsmühle Aurich

Highlight • Monument

The Stiftsmühle is a listed five-story Dutch windmill with a wind rose and louvre flaps in Aurich in Lower Saxony. The building was built in 1858. It is one of the city's landmarks and, with a total height of 29.95 m, the second highest mill in East Frisia after the windmill in Hage. It is still operational today. It takes its name from the Sethestift, which acquired the mill in 1932.
