Wiesmoor is particularly well known for its unique moor and heath landscapes and the famous Rhododendron Park. Here, visitors can admire more than 2,500 different rhododendron species on a 25-hectare site. The peat museum also provides an insight into the history of peat extraction in this region.

Aurich, on the other hand, impresses with its historic old town, characterised by 17th-century half-timbered houses and numerous church buildings such as the Lambertikirche or Georgskirche. Also worth seeing is the castle square ensemble with the baroque castle and the state museum.

Culture enthusiasts should also not miss the annual arts and crafts festival "Handgemacht" or relax at a concert in the Kulturspeicher Aurich.

Those who like to be active can go on bike tours through the picturesque landscape or take a boat trip on the many canals - especially beautiful when the rhododendrons are in bloom in May/June! For water sports enthusiasts, a trip to the Tannenhauser Meer bathing lake is also a good idea.

If it should rain, we recommend a visit to the "Ocean Wave" adventure pool in Aurich or a cosy stop in one of the numerous cafés and restaurants serving regional specialities such as kale with pinkel or labskaus.

All in all, Wiesmoor and Aurich are definitely worth a visit - whether for nature lovers, culture enthusiasts or active holidaymakers. With this travel guide as your travel guide, nothing stands in the way of an unforgettable trip!

    Wir sind diese Tour an einem schönen Herbsttag gefahren. Sie führt auf überwiegend verkehrsarmen Straßen und Wegen durch die Landschaft zwischen Friedeburg und Wiesmoor. Es lohnt sich, einen Stopp am Moor-und Torfmuseum einzulegen und dort auch Ostfriesentee und leckeren Rosinenstuten zu genießen (Di -So). Besonders gefallen hat uns der kleine versteckte Weg zwischen Wiesmoor und Hinrichsfehn, vorbei an Baumschulgelände und am Golfplatz. Eine ansprechende Route, die wir gerne noch einmal fahren werden.

    Eine schöne, abwechslungsreiche Fahrradroute, die durch den nördlichen Teil der Gemeinde Uplengen führt. Ausgebaute Nebenstraßen und Radwege wechseln ab mit aufgeschotterten Straßen und kleinen, manchmal versteckten Radwegen durch Wäldchen. Aufgrund dieser Streckenführung und auch wegen der Länge empfehlen wir die Tour nicht für Familien oder wenig geübte Radfahrer. Sehr gut gefallen hat uns zudem die vielen Bänke und Pausenhäuschen. Empfehlen würden wir auch, sich selbst mit ausreichend Getränken zu versorgen, es gibt auf der Strecke nicht viele Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Im Großen und Ganzen eine gelungene Streckenführung, die mit viel Liebe zur Landschaft gestaltet worden ist. Dafür ein großes Dankeschön
