Camping in East Frisia #2

On an agricultural farm in Moormerland, the camper is parked directly by the house. One parking space – that's all the farm offers. Flat land all around, wind sweeping across the fen meadows. Made for cycling. Six kilometers further on, the Emssperrwerk dam blocks off the Ems, one of Europe's most modern barrages. In Leer, East Frisia is recreated as a model landscape on 1,500 square meters. It's twenty-five kilometers to the North Sea, flat enough to cycle the whole way.1

Sights in the area1

Ems Storm Surge Barrier

Six kilometres away, this structure seals off the Ems during storm tides. When a cruise ship from Papenburg is due to be conveyed downriver, the gates open — onlookers gather on the dyke.

Model Landscape in Leer

In Leer, all of East Frisia is recreated on 1,500 square metres, with dykes, farms and running trains. The rainy-day classic for families, a good twenty kilometres from the farm.

Pilsum Lighthouse

The yellow-and-red lighthouse behind the dyke in western East Frisia, known from the Otto film. The short walk along the dyke to reach it is worth it in any weather.
