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 Sagter Ems originates from the confluence of the Marka and Ohe rivers in Neuscharrel. The confluence point is located just before the southern bank of the Küstenkanal (Coastal Canal), which the Sagter Ems flows under. The Sagter Ems then traverses the Saterland region from south to north, flowing through the villages of Sedelsberg, Scharrel, Ramsloh, Strücklingen, and Bokelesch. Near the hamlet of Roggenberg, the Elisabethfehn Canal flows into the Sagter Ems. From this point until its confluence with the Dreyschloot canal at the border with East Frisia, the Sagter Ems is a federal waterway for 0.56 km,[3] under the jurisdiction of the Ems-Nordsee Waterways and Shipping Authority. The Dreyschloot, artificially constructed between 1848 and 1852, connects to the Barßeler Tief canal and the Jümme river. In East Frisia, the Sagter Ems is known as the Leda. [3] The Leda River, together with the Jümme River, forms the scenic Leda-Jümme region. The Jümme flows into the Leda near Wiltshausen, and shortly thereafter, the Leda flows into the Ems River near Leer (East Frisia). Due to the indirect connection to the North Sea via the Leda and Ems rivers, significant tidal variations can still be observed in the Sagter Ems.
