Cultural highlights are also plentiful. Why not visit one of the many concerts at the "Forum Alte Werft" cultural centre or experience traditional East Frisian customs during a parade at the annual Schützenfest.

The culinary specialities of this region should not go unmentioned: Be sure to try the famous East Frisian tea or enjoy fresh crab bread directly from the harbour in Ditzum.

    eine wunderschöne Fahrradtour. Aber leider fährt die Fähre erst ab dem 1. Mai wieder. Also konnten wir nicht komplett nach der Beschreibung fahren.

    Nette Tour durch eine schöne Landschaft. Wenig Versorgungsmöglichkeiten unterwegs mit Ausnahme des wirklich guten Imbiss in Collinghorst, wo man auch draußen sitzen kann.

    wunderschöne leichte Radtour durch typisch friesische Landschaften, entlang an Kanälen, über Brücken, auf oder entlang Deiche. Ein Binnenhafen lädt zum Verweilen ein . Damals war die Gastronomie noch geöffnet mit allen Vorteilen. Wir hatten Glück mit dem Wetter nur wenig Wind von vorne.
