Quick ride by bicycle from Leer to Brinkum

Here’s a relaxed ride from Leer to Brinkum—perfect for an easygoing afternoon! Starting in Leer, a charming little town known for its historic Altstadt, you’ll head north on mostly paved paths and quiet roads. With just over 9 km to cover and little elevation gain (no tough hills here), it’s great for all levels of cyclists.

Most of your ride is on smooth asphalt, with a splash of paving stones as you pass through small villages and open countryside. You’ll have plenty of time to take in the East Frisian scenery—flat fields, windmills in the distance, and maybe even a few grazing sheep.

You’ll finish up in Brinkum, a peaceful village that’s a world away from the hustle and bustle. While not large, Brinkum lets you slow down and enjoy rural Lower Saxony at its best. Grab a snack at a local café, or just enjoy the tranquility before heading back or exploring further. All in all, a perfect, scenic, low-key ride!
