July 21, 2024,Jo's Runde um Wilhelmshaven

Today, on the second day of our Ems-Jade Canal trip, we set off on a 🚲🚲🚲🚲tour from Wilhelmshaven Bant towards the naval arsenal, the Hepenser Groden naval base, past the Rüster Berg along the Jade Weser Port towards Hooksiel. Here we took a long break at the waterski facility and watched the goings-on on the water. On to Jever, where …

August 21, 2024,21.08 T34 Sommer 24: Jever Extratour

Today without luggage is a real relief. But the wind is blowing from behind, right, left and sometimes from the front. Today's tour was only roughly planned and I'm following signs a lot, which works well. I don't have a fixed destination, I just want to take a look around the area around Jever and see the sea again before …

I particularly liked the route to and through Wilhelmshaven. I would have loved to cycle along the water the whole time, but it was so windy today that parts of the path were under water.
The route along the K 294 is not so nice. Next time I would therefore choose a different route back.
Today there is still time …

October 25, 2024,Schleuse in Maadesiel – Rundkurs von Heppens/Wilhelmshaven

Work appointment in the Protestant community center right next to the Heppenser church. From there we set off straight on the wonderful circular tour.
Almost 100% on very easy to navigate cycle or farm paths (exception: short "Hoppel-Platten-Weg" on the Ems-Jade canal).
Also recommended for the tour with children in shorter sections.

April 18, 2026,Runde von Hooksiel-WHV-Schortens-Jever

Good stretch to ride. Fewer highlights until WHV. The route between Schortens and Jever should be planned differently due to too much traffic. Jever is a nice small town with various places to eat. Coffee directly on the water in WHV is recommended. Cycle paths could be in better condition.

August 21, 2022,Jachthafen Hooksiel – Schlachtmühle Jever Runde von Wilhelmshaven

Very nice tour, especially the path along the Hookser Meer, but you should be able to keep your balance as it is a narrow gravel path with a lot of oncoming traffic on sunny days..
