Gita in bici di un giorno da Wirdum a Emden

This pleasant 24 km ride takes you from the quiet village of Wirdum down to the lively port city of Emden, right in the heart of East Frisia. With hardly any elevation (top out around 6 meters!), the route is a gentle roll through classic northern German landscape—think big skies, lush green meadows, and those endless fields dotted with cows and windmills.

You’ll spend most of the route on well-kept bike paths and quiet roads, so it’s peaceful pedaling all the way. Expect a mix of smooth asphalt and sections of paving stones for that authentic rural charm. You might pass a few little hamlets, and don’t be surprised if you spot sheep grazing along the dikes!

Emden greets you at the end with its famous harbor and maritime vibe—it’s one of the oldest seaports in Germany, with interesting museums and plenty of spots to refuel with local fish snacks. All in all, this is a super accessible ride that’s perfect if you want to enjoy Frisia’s laid-back countryside with an easy cruise into the city.
