This is the longest bicycle bridge in Europe (800m) connecting Winschoten with Blauwestad. The bridge was built over a highway, a canal and part of the Oldambtmeer.
The views from the bridge are wonderful.

September 21, 2024,Blauwestad - Runde von Bad Nieuweschans

Today we took advantage of the great late summer weather again. From Bad Nieuweschans we went to Blauwestad. A very nice tour. I can really recommend it. The Dutch really know how to build bike paths. The East Frisians should take a look at that.
