Trail Reviews

E-Bikeman Rolf
July 17, 2024, Emstaldörfer (von Emsbüren bis Umspannwerk Hanekenfähr)

I followed this komoot tour with a friend. Start/finish at Leschede (Emsbüren) train station. This tour is recommended. I would avoid one section of the tour next time: the very bumpy, coarse gravel cycle path parallel to the Ems-Vechte canal. I would cycle above Hanekenfähr (further north).

Nice tour through southern Emsland. Contrary to expectations, the route is not very similar to the Ems cycle path. West of the Ems there are quite a few cycle paths alongside the road. But on Sundays there is not too much traffic in most parts.
