Day 2: Excursion to Borkum Already on your first day the island hopping starts. By ferry you get in two hours to the island of Borkum, the biggest east-Frisian Island with an offshore climate. Explore the island on 130 km bike paths or cycle along the 28 km long sandy beach. Relaxation pure! In the late afternoon you go back to Emden where you stay overnight again.
Day 3: Emden – Norden (approx. 55 km) Today you cycle to the picturesque fisher village Greetsiel. It is the biggest crab-fisher port of Weser-Ems region. Don’t pass by without having a couple of shrimps. Past the bay of Ley – where you might be lucky to spot seals – you cycle to Norden.
Day 4: Excursion to island Norderney Today again you take the ferry and go in one hour to the island of Norderney, which is the oldest health-bath on the North Sea and has been sought after for more than 200 years by persons looking for recuperation.

Further information about our cycling holidays along the North Sea Cycle Route
Conquer the North Sea region by bike!
The Vikings did it via ship, the Frieslands used horses and feed, but today, it is the best way to conquer the North Sea region by bike. Let the raw beauty of the North Sea Cycle Path whisk you away from the everyday life! The international long-distance cycling route guides you on 5942 kilometres along the coast of the North Sea and was opened in 2001 as the so called EuroVelo 12.
The North Sea Cycle Path and the Cycle Paths around Eastern Friesland offer the finest pleasures for cycling: Along the dykes or behind them, sheltered from the wind, you will cycle through sleepy villages, lush green meadows and golden waving fields. Thereby, you can always enjoy the view on the North Sea as well as a fresh and salty sea breeze...
Besides, your cycling tours allow unique side trips into the most beautiful cities of Eastern Friesland as e.g. to the North Sea islands Borkum, Norderney and Langeoog. The cycle routes are easy to handle and nearly always follow the dykes.
