View of Steinbild and the Ems River

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Point Of View", so to speak, is a really good one. From here you have a beautiful view of the area on the Ems in front of Steinbild. Not the hammer highlight, that should be clear, but nice.

We drove between Papenburg and Meppen, the route runs almost entirely along the Ems and is well signposted. A nice tour on impeccable bike paths. 👍

The Ems cycle path from Dollart to Lathen is very worthwhile. It offers a lot of impressions. We had the disadvantage that we almost only had a headwind with gusts of up to 70 km/h.

From Aschendorf along the Ems. Great bike paths and beautiful landscape. The return trip via Steinbild and Dörpen was actually good, but it would have been better to take the same route back.

It was getting colder and then also humid...
Unfortunately, the outlook for the next few days is cloudy.
Tour finished, then continues from Papenburg next time.
Still it was a nice experience.
