Old Bangsteder farm

A Gulf farm near Ihlow, over 125 years old, surrounded by meadows. Cows graze on the grass, with chickens and horses roaming among them. From the site, views stretch across fields where fallow deer can be spotted in the evening. The Ems-Jade Canal and a small harbour are within sight. Cycle paths run flat through the marshland towards the coast and the Pilsum Lighthouse. Morning chicken clucking, otherwise quiet. About 63 kilometres to Oldenburg.1

Sights in the area1

Pilsum Lighthouse

The yellow-and-red tower behind the dyke, famous from the Otto film. The short walk out there is worth it even in wind and grey skies.

Greetsiel – Pilsum cycle path

Flat dyke route between the fishing village of Greetsiel and the lighthouse. An afternoon on the bike, if the legs are still willing.

Lütetsburg Castle

Baroque estate with a wide landscape park near Norden. The rainy-day detour when the marsh is too wet for field tracks.

Oldenburg

The nearest larger town, about 63 kilometres away. Old town, castle and market for a day away from the meadows.
