The hut also has a small "bicycle repair shop" with the necessary tools and a pump. It's a nice place for a rest.

A first-class weather shelter. Plenty of seating is available both inside and outside, and there's even a covered bicycle parking area.

Not far from the Neuscharrel coastal canal bridge is this unusual weather shelter with great architecture. There are benches inside. Right next door there is also a very nice rest area directly on the bank of the coastal canal below the weather shelter. This can be reached via a staircase.

The "Klön-Eck" in Markhausen was built by local residents (and is also looked after by them) and is a really great thing! As a shelter, it is weatherproof on three sides and under the projecting roof there is seating from spring to autumn (there are some inside too). So if you are a cyclist passing by here and need protection from the weather, this is the place to be, especially as your bike can fit in too. Basically, the Plate shop is opposite, it is open from 6 a.m. to 12 noon, if you come later, a few hundred meters further on you will find 24!7, a vending machine shop (and from there it is not even 200 meters to the Pizzeria Firat, just stay on the main road). So nothing stands in the way of a leisurely break. You will find the next trash can at the bus stop opposite the Kuper gas station (they also have ice cream and chocolate), you can see it from that point, or at the intersection by the market square a little further on.

Beautiful forest with a bike path. In the Emsland district, the cycle path is very difficult, as there are many holes. In the district of Cloppenburg it is tarred.
