The geographical location of the village is particularly attractive: the idyllic landscape of meadows, fields and small lakes extends all the way to the coast. Here you will also find the famous Wadden Sea National Park, which is a popular destination for nature lovers.

Topically relevant sights include Ihlow Castle with its beautiful gardens and the historic windmill "Auricher-Butt". The Krummhörn-Greetsiel open-air museum also provides an insight into the history of this region.

Cultural highlights include regular concerts on the market square or in the castle park as well as theatre performances in the local theatre. In addition, various events such as the Emden-Norderney International Film Festival or the music festival "Ostfriesischer Musiksommer" take place every year.

For gourmets, Ihlow offers many culinary specialities such as fresh fish from the North Sea or regional specialities such as kale with pinkel or labskaus. Another treat is the typical East Frisian tea ceremonies with Kluntjes (rock candy) and cream.

For those who like to be active, there are numerous outdoor activities to enjoy here - whether cycling, hiking or water sports. It is especially beautiful in spring and summer when nature is in full bloom.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, there are also indoor activities such as museum visits or a relaxing day in the hotel's spa area.

    Eine schöne Tour. Im Herbst/Winter etwas trist zwischendurch. Teils wenig Sitzmöglichkeiten unterwegs. Da ich sie am Stück gelaufen bin, kann ich nichts zu den Unterkünften sagen. Ein Teil geht leider auch an einer Straße ohne Fußweg lang.

    Nette Tour. Wir sind die Tour so gefahren, dass Aurich gegen Mittag erreicht wurde. So gab es eine gute Möglichkeit in der Auricher Einkaufsstraße Mittag zu essen. Interessant ist insbesondere die Strecke entlang des Kanals.

    Sehr schöne einfache Radtour durch abwechslungsreiche Landschaft. Weitestgehend gute Beschilderung, GPS ist hilfreich. Kloster Ihlow und Umgebung sehenswert.
