Südliches Ostfriesland
Always close to the water
The holiday area is characterized by another specialty: the water. Holidaymakers will find bathing lakes with playgrounds, a surfing facility for water skiing, outdoor pools and numerous fishing areas. The rivers Ems, Leda and Jümme are used for recreational shipping. Small ports such as in Oldersum and Weener, the cutter port in Ditzum or the modern port in Leer convey the romanticism of seafarers. The district town is also known to an audience of millions from the "Friesland" crime series. On the other side of the river Ems lies the Rheiderland. The well-known saying: "See in the morning who comes to tea in the afternoon" fits in well, with a slightly Dutch character. The Netherlands borders the Rheiderland. The landscape of the other communities in southern East Frisia reports on the moor and its cultivation. As contemporary witnesses, many Fehn canals pass through Moormerland as well as East and Rhauderfehn. Pretty white bascule bridges characterize the picture of the pretty villages.
In Hesel and Uplengen there are a total of three forest areas in the otherwise rather poorly forested East Frisia. Only the mountains are even rarer in the flat country. Anyone who enjoys cycling will appreciate this.
Ostfriesland für den Gaumen
There are also many culinary options in southern East Frisia - whether it's good old home cooking with kale and pee, fish and international restaurants or hotels with excellent cuisine. A specialty are the so-called Melkhuskes, where cyclists in particular can fortify themselves with a milkshake or cake in the rural style. Tea is a must in East Frisia - freshly brewed, for example, it is served in old windmills.
In addition to very beautiful campsites and parking spaces, the holiday region also scores with its central location and good transport connections: located in the East Frisian inland, between the Dutch Groningen in the west and Oldenburg and the Hanseatic city of Bremen in the east. The East Frisian Islands, the coast in the north and many excursion destinations can be reached quickly.
