Fishing in Apen

Good fishing!

As the municipality with the most water, Apen offers anglers great opportunities to make big catches or just enjoy nature in peace. Guest anglers can purchase guest fishing permits from Apen Touristik to fish for carp, pike, catfish, zander, bream, perch, tench and eel in the many standing and flowing waters. As a special offer, we offer a barrier-free fishing spot at the old harbor basin in Apen.

Dreyschloot Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Dreyschloot connects the rivers Jümme and Leda in the south of East Friesland, which as “two streams” represent one of the most beautiful regions in East Friesland.
Because of the Barkter Straße / Deichstraße, which leads from Detern to Barßel, the Dreyschloot has exactly this lifting bridge.
If you drive the northern path along the Leda to get to Barßel, you will experience the meaning of the lift bridge and can - crossing the connecting channel - then cycle a short way to Barßel. Otherwise you have to drive a large curve along Dreyschloot and Jümme in order to be able to cross them at Detern. From there you can reach Barßel via the Nordloher Tief and Tange. There the Jümme, which from then on is called “Soeste”, continues through Frisoythe and the Tülsfeld dam. Your source is at Emstek.
Shortly after the Dreyschloot Bridge, the Elisabeth Fehn Canal goes off. The Leda, which in turn is called "Sagter Ems" in Saterland, then continues through Ramsloh and Scharrel before - like Soeste - it crosses the coastal canal and rises in the Emsland as an "Ohe" near Spahnharrenstätte.
