Unfortunately, the cycle path on the dyke was closed due to construction work, so we had to cycle an additional 10 kilometers.

Nice day trip by bike, unfortunately you can't take as many breaks as there are opportunities along the way.

The East Frisia region is quite well known. But it's not so crowded, people still say hello on the way.
And: good clientele. I can't imagine that any of them have ever gone to the police station. No AMG noise. That's good too.
But there's great nature to chill out in.
