Maps and trails
Welcome to Lingen (Ems), a charming town in the northwest of Germany. Situated on the river Ems, this town offers a unique combination of nature and urban life. The historic old town is characterised by old half-timbered houses and churches worth seeing.

The most famous sight in Lingen is Clemenswerth Castle, which was built in the 18th century and now serves as a museum. Here you can admire the history of the castle as well as the baroque architecture.

Another highlight are the numerous cycling and hiking paths along the Ems or through the nearby "Hasetal" forest. Tours by bike on the "Emslandradweg", a supra-regional long-distance cycle route that runs directly through Lingen, are particularly recommended.

Culturally, Lingen also has a lot to offer: Concerts, opera performances and other cultural events are held regularly at the Theater an der Wilhelmshöhe. The Kunsthaus Stove is also a popular place to visit: it shows changing exhibitions of contemporary art.

For culinary delights, traditional restaurants such as the Restaurant Hagenbrücke or the Brauhaus am Markt with their regional specialities such as green cabbage or asparagus dishes.

When it rains, it is worth visiting the Lookentor shopping centre with its numerous shops or the Linus-Lingen leisure pool with its sauna area.

It is particularly nice in Lingen (Ems) in summer when you can enjoy nature. But winter also has its charm: the Christmas market on the market square invites you to stroll around and drink mulled wine.

Lingen (Ems) is definitely worth a trip for anyone who likes to be active and loves city life at the same time. This Travel Guide offers you an insight into the many possibilities of this city - discover for yourself!

    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!
