Excursión ciclista de un día de Norddeich a Emden

Cycling from Norddeich to Emden

This pleasant 44.5 km ride starts at Norddeich, a popular spot on the North Sea coast known for its ferries to the East Frisian Islands and its wide, windswept beaches. You’ll pedal south through the iconic flatlands of East Frisia—a perfect setting for an easy-going, wind-in-your-hair experience.

The route is mostly on bike paths (about 86%) and quiet roads, so expect a peaceful journey with few cars. The smooth terrain means you won’t be huffing up any serious hills—the ascent is just under 46 meters in total. Over 80% of the track is paved or asphalt, but you’ll also cruise over some charming paving stones (watch out if it’s wet!), and there’s a tiny bit of gravel.

Your destination, Emden, is a lively harbor city that’s famous for its maritime history, quirky museums, and vibrant waterfront. Treat yourself to a walk along the old canals or a slice of Ostfriesland’s legendary cake when you’re done. The salty air and sea views bookend a classic Northern Germany ride. Happy cycling!
