Landscape Window Tower of a Rhododendron Queen (Westerstede)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view over the rhododendrons from the tower is very impressive. The landscape window lies dreamily in a wooded area on Kirchweg.

In spring, thousands of rhododendrons bloom in Ammerland. The sea of blossoms is ideal for exploring by bike: the 47-kilometre Rhododendron Route leads to the loveliest gardens and parks. Even without visiting the parks, it is worth driving this route. I have the impression that every house is adorned with the beautiful flowers, often there are whole hedges and sometimes …

Today we headed to Ammerland! The tour started in Westerstede. The route offers a variety of natural scenery. The rhododendrons, which are common in this area and are currently in bloom🌺, are particularly pleasing to the eye.

The route also boasts many winding, sometimes very narrow paths, whether through the forest🌳, along the river🏞️, and, amazingly, even between fields🌾.

The route at the gliding airfield is an old concrete road, about 4 km long, which is very unpleasant to drive.
