The Ems-Hunte Trail takes you through the Dreistromland region with the rivers Ems, Leda and Jümme. This picturesque and beautiful landscape is criss-crossed with countless streams.

The route takes you along pastures with black and white cows and to small, dreamy places. A landscape that will enchant you with its charm. In the Ammerland region, the route leads to the Geest through ancient farmland, past colorful gardens and to the Zwischenahner Meer, which invites you to watch the many water sports enthusiasts. Another highlight of the route is the Aper Tief. The small river is subject to the tides and is the only freshwater mudflat in the northwest of Germany. The nature reserve is home to unique flora and fauna, making the hike a very special experience.

Highlights:

  1. The Zwischenahner Meer, also known as the "Pearl of the Ammerland", nestled in a beautiful natural landscape, is the third largest inland lake in Lower Saxony and a popular destination for visitors from near and far.
  2. The Petri Church is the landmark of the town of Westerstede. Wall paintings from the 15th century can be seen in the interior. In the choir is a crucifixion altar from the first half of the 15th century in a new shrine. The organ builder Joachim Kayser (Jever) built the organ in 1687. It is one of the most beautiful organs in the Ammerland region.
  3. The landscape window "Turm an der Rhodo-Königin" shows the rhododendron. From the historic Gießelhorster Kirchweg, visitors will find the observation tower in a typical commercial forest with many older rhododendrons that have grown up to 10 meters high. A special feature is the mirror construction of the roof, which allows you to experience the rhododendron splendor in the tower and over the horizon.The "Hengstforder Mühle" gallery hollow in the municipality of Apen is located in the Hengstforde district directly on the Aper Tief. The two-storey gallery farm was originally built in 1882.
