Leisure Marina Leer

Leer Tourist Information

Harderwykenburg

Highlight • Castle

It is also called "The first house in Leer".
The Hardewykenburg was built in 1480, but is not a typical castle in the true sense of the word. The building is a stone house and consists of a large
residential tower, the walls of which are about one meter thick.
The "castle" was built by the East Frisian chief Hajo Unken.
The castle is still owned by the family today and serves as a residence.
Unfortunately, a tour is only possible from the outside!

Sautelersiel Pumping Station

Highlight • Structure

Like many sluices on the Ems and its tributaries, this sluice is also an important facility for draining the region. The view is quite nice.

Dike Trail Along the Ems River

Highlight • Trail

Trail-like it rolls along the dike. A little more difficult than the concrete slab path behind the dike, but with a great view of the Ems and the surrounding area.

Bridge Over the Pektumer Sieltief

Highlight • Bridge

The Pelkum steep bridge allows pedestrians to cross Das Fehntjer Tief dry-shod at the canal crossing and allows shipping to pass under this bridge. here is a small report about the two bodies of water:

The Fehntjer Deep flows roughly parallel to the Ems Lateral Canal. This section is an artificial extension of the Flumm, a natural little river in the municipality of Großefehn, which was created in the 17th century. After the citizens of Emden laid out the west bank in 1633, the Flumm, which had previously flowed in the direction of Oldersum, was supplemented by a canal that connected it directly to Emden. From a point a few kilometers north of Oldersum (near the Monnikeborgum farm), the low was artificially lengthened towards the west, i.e. Emden, by excavation. This was done to improve the transport of peat from the Fehnen to Emden. Between Petkum and Herrentor the newly dug deep was initially called the Sägemüllers Deep and between Petkum and Oldersum Grove (from digging), later simply Fehntjer Deep in the course of standardizing the name of the water body
