Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Emden à Delfzijl

Emden to Delfzijl Cycling Route

Get ready for a mellow North Sea adventure as you pedal from Emden, Germany, to Delfzijl in the Netherlands! Starting in Emden—famous for its maritime roots and laid-back port vibes—you’ll head west along mostly flat terrain, with hardly any elevation changes to tire you out.

The route stretches about 90 kilometers, winding through classic Frisian countryside: think endless meadows, wind turbines, and the occasional flock of sheep. Most of the way is nice and smooth on asphalt or concrete, and you’ll spend plenty of time on quiet access roads and scenic paths, so it’s a great ride for soaking up the rural charm (and maybe a bit of sea breeze).

Roll into Delfzijl, a Dutch harbor town with a long history defending the coast, and you can celebrate with a stroll along the dike or grab a snack by the water. Don’t forget—you’re riding from one cycling-friendly country straight into another, where the bike always rules the road. Have fun, and bring your rain jacket (just in case)!
