It's really nice to cycle in the surroundings of the Jümme, but one should consider the wind and the fact that there are mostly no cycle paths here and you have to ride on the roads. However, the traffic density here is not high and the views are impressive.

The Heseler Wald is the largest contiguous forest area in the region. Almost exactly in the middle, a federal highway with a cycle path on one side runs through it. The Heseler Wald is also widely used as a local recreation area.

The Heseler Wald is the largest contiguous forest area in the region. Almost centrally divided by the federal road that runs through it. There is a lot to discover in the Heseler Wald, which also serves as a recreational area.

The place is known for its idyllic location on the East Frisian hiking trail and for its long history, which dates back to the Middle Ages.

A gallery mill is being built in Neermoor. A sandstone plaque above the French doors with the year "1884" commemorates this significant year, in which a wonderful Gründerzeit villa named "1884" was also built on Norderney. The mill is also used for events https://moehlnvereen-neermoor.de/

The port location Leer is both a high-performance seaport and an important hub for inland navigation. At the same time, Leer is the second-largest shipping location in Germany. In good weather, it's always very busy here.
