The 87 km long Ems-Hunte-Weg connects the two Lower Saxony towns of Leer (on the Ems) and Oldenburg (on the Hunte). First, the lowlands of Leda and Jümme are traversed. In Ammerland, the path then leads onto the Geest through ancient farmland. Other stops include Westerstede and Bad Zwischenahn with the lake of the same name. The hiking trail guarantees peace and seclusion. There are no significant elevation changes. It is advisable to choose the hiking direction depending on the wind direction. Since predominantly westerly winds prevail, the route is described here from west to east, so the wind is at your back.

    Eine ruhige Wanderung, ich konnte die Landschaft im Winterschlaf genießen. Aber die aktuellen Probleme der Landwirtschaft waren unverkennbar. Es gibt neue Hingucker: Das Café Land Leben am Mühlenbrink in Linswege, Die Fischtreppe an der Süderbäke und den Park der Raritäten in Hüllstederfeld.

    Heute Nachmittag sind wir den wunderschönen Weg abgelaufen. Leider gibt es nicht die volle Punktzahl, weil am Burgplatz Mansingen KEINE Hörstation vorhanden ist. Die sei abgebaut, sagte eine vorbeifahrende Radfahrerin - schade! Übrigens führt der Weg am „Möhlenbült“ vorbei und nicht am „Möhlenbölt“! Einen weiteren Druckfehler habe ich außerdem auf der Karte entdeckt: dort steht Gut Finkensolt statt Fikensolt. Herzlichst 🙋🏻‍♀️
