    Ein wunderschöner und anfängerfreundlicher Weg. Wir sind mit dem Zelt gefahren und haben problemfrei, auch ohne Vorbuchungen, Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten gefunden. In Rheda-Wiedenbrück und Papenburg ist die Beschilderung leider nicht so übersichtlich, da empfehle ich ganz klar eine Karte. Sonst ist der Radweg sehr gut ausgeschildert, die Wege angenehm zu fahren und die Aussicht wunderschön.

    Bin den Emsradweg vor 3 Jahren gefahren, von der Quelle bis zur Mündung! Was 'jü ass' das schreibt ist grundsätzlich und pauschal schon richtig, aber will man denn (wie für ein Rennrad) frisch geteerte Strassen unter den Reifen haben? Ich bin den Emsradweg gerne gefahren und kann diesen nur weiter empfehlen, auch für Familien!
