A tip for beer 🍺 A small, family-run, committed and cozy brewery in Lünne. With an attached restaurant, it is an experience, the tour was very informative and you could try all the types of beer that are made there! The location is very dignified and cozy. Guests can also try curling or crossbow shooting, for example. The service was extremely friendly and attentive.

North of Steinbild, the Ems Cycle Path runs to the left of the Ems. Here we find this holiday park with living on the water and a marina. But also a café and restaurant with a terrace. All in all, a great location for a leisurely break on the Ems.
