Nordgeorgsfehn Canal

Highlight • River

Anyone who, like me, is interested in waterways must definitely experience the route on the Nordgeorgsfehn Canal between Leda and Jade-Ems Canal. It's an experience, even if the first few kilometers from Stickhausen are a bit “slow”. After that, things will get much better and the Nordgeorgsfehnkanal will delight despite its long stretch to its other end on the Ems-Jade Canal.

Turf barge Ella on the Nordgeorgsfehn Canal

Highlight • Structure

A beautiful adventure tour with the MS "Ella" on the Nordgeorgsfehn Canal.

A trip with the “Ella” on the Nordgeorgs-Fehn Canal is always an experience. The peat from the Fehnen to Emden used to be transported with such ships. The municipality of Uplengen and the crew have lovingly restored this ship and offer excursions on the Nordgeorgsfehn Canal. The friendly crew of the "Ella" will ensure that this trip will remain a fond memory for everyone involved.

It would be nice if the creator would write where the hl is and what it's called.
hl doesn't make sense as it is. Not even in East Frisia.

Brückenfehn Drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

Settlement on the edge of the moor began in 1772. It was officially mentioned for the first time in 1787 as the Vehn an der Brücke. The current spelling has been handed down since 1823. The place name describes the location of the settlement, which was once built on a bridge over the Hollener Ehe.

Holtlander Ehetief Hand-Crank Ferry

Highlight • Bridge

As a very interesting connection between Filsum and Holtland, the crank ferry runs over the Holtlander Ehetief. The cyclists and pedestrians use the ferry to get themselves across the Ehetief and can continue their journey on the other side.

July 3, 2026,Hesel-Erlebnis-Route 🚲🌧️🌤️☕️

We started in Hesel at the parking lot near Villa Popken, with a light 🌧️ that didn't last long. In moderate temperatures 🌤️, the tour led us through various Fehndörfer villages to Hollen, our first stop. At the Behmann bakery, we treated ourselves to a small breakfast. Via Filsum to the "Holtlander Ehetief", a small river, which we crossed to …
