20.9 km

Here inclined cyclists and hikers cross the Leda in a somewhat spectacular way. Especially when a train thunders by next to you, your pulse rises. The bridge is also a good vantage point of the Leda barrage on the one hand and the last few meters of the river before it flows into the Ems on the other.
From here it goes over the bridge to the old town to Leer or to the Jann-Berghaus-Brücke over the Ems into the Rheiderland and to the south along the bike path along the railway to Ihrhove.
The country road runs across this, which leads us along a wonderful dike route up the Ems, past Esklum and Mitling MArk to Papenburg and the Meyer shipyard.

Historic Town Hall, Leer

Highlight • Historical Site

Like so many historical buildings, the town hall in Leer is made of typical North German brick. Inside you can quickly see that Leer must have been a rich town in earlier times: ballrooms and beautiful ceiling paintings make the town hall the most impressive building in Leer. You can visit the town hall on a guided tour - you also climb up the tower.

You can find more information about the tour here: touristik-leer.de.

Jann-Berghaus Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The view over the Ems is always worthwhile. The trip to Emden through the Rheiderland and with the ferry from Ditzum is nicer.

Coldam–Weener Dike Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

After the passage at the Jann-Berghaus-Brücke, the dike leads us past Coldam with the art center, two churches, sluices and lots of sheep. The route is well developed and pleasant to drive. Well, in between the sheep barriers have to be driven through again and again, so narrow, angled passages with bar grating, as well as the lock at the port in Weener. So don't look down bluntly, otherwise you'll hit a gate. Otherwise: On the left the dike, on the right the view of the vastness of the Rheiderland. After around 10 kilometers you come to Weener with its beautiful harbor, before you continue at full throttle to Papenburg.

Sunday sun worshipers were out and about on their electric vehicles again today. Which they then cannot handle and then dismount and stop at the narrowest points. Only to find out that this was a stupid idea.

April 1, 2025,Leer - Pbg (Meyerwerft) bds der Ems

The road along the Ems from Pbg to Leer is closed at the Friesenbrücke (construction work). Construction workers waved people through on foot. A detour through the town is signposted. In Weener, "to the right of the harbor" is the wrong choice. So, turn left and then, at the end, over the barrage.
