Old Sluice, Greetsiel

Highlight • Settlement

Unfortunately, the Popinga tea room is closed, but there are still plenty of restaurants worth visiting in Greetsiel. The place itself is also worth visiting.

Greetsiel is a beautiful, small town and part of the municipality of Krummhörn. There are a lot of older houses. The harbor with its shrimp cutters is particularly worth seeing. In the season, however, Greetsiel is very busy.

Pilsum Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Who does not know it, the famous lighthouse of East Frisia. A must see when vacationing in the area. Always worth seeing for me when I'm there.

The elevation gain on this tour is definitely incorrect.

It's about 80 meters.

I'm looking for a mistake.

May 19, 2025,🚴‍♂️ Tour von Greetsiel nach Emden und retoure

This beautiful bike tour starts in Greetsiel and cycles along the dike with views of the North Sea and the Ems estuary to Emden. We stop at the Delft River. We continue on good cycle paths back to Greetsiel.

September 13, 2021,Nordseeluft und Matjesbrötchen, Runde ab Emden Hbf

Today directly used the offer of the local transport of the Germany-wide ticket. Emden can be reached with a change from the Ruhr area. Unfortunately, the dike path from camping to the Pilsum lighthouse is closed on weekdays. A detour wasn't really well signposted. Therefore, with Komoot Navigation, an access supposedly found outside the construction site, at least no prohibition …

June 12, 2025,Pilsumer Leuchtturm Runde - "Altes Siel"- Greetsiel – zu Besuch in Otto's Heimat

Hey🙋‍♂️, today I went to Otto's Lighthouse (actually "Pilsum Lighthouse")😃.

This time my tour was supposed to start in Emden. I started from Oldenburg on the RE1 train, to Norddeich Mole, and finally to Emden (5:33 a.m.).

My journey took me past Twixlum, Rysum, Campen, Hamswehrum, Manslagt, Greetsiel, Visquard, Jennelt, Uttrum, and Cirkwehrum.

Set off towards Emden in warmest weather. Out along the dike and back on the direct route.
Nice tour on often very bad bike paths. Along the dike they are also full 💩.

August 1, 2024,Greetsiel, Emden mit Kesselschleuse, Greetsiel

From Greetsiel to Emden and back. We already knew the dike construction site (at least in part). Today we got to know the rest with inadequate signage and the "nice" construction manager. So another failed detour.

In Emden we then went to the interesting Kesselschleuse and a nice café.

Changed once with 🇬🇧Ticket. Unfortunately experienced two road closures without notice and diversion signs. The tour is beautiful, only the alternative route in Hinte was a bit adventurous.

July 20, 2024,Mal schauen was, bei den Nordlichtern so geht (fährt)

Had a great tour with my wife. The 34 degrees C didn't bother us as we were constantly feeling a stiff breeze from the North Sea. But we still got a little sunburned.
