Impressions of Warsingsfehn

Get active

East Frisia is flat, green and full of water – perfect for cycling, paddling and swimming. There are over 500 km of signposted cycle paths in the area, and the German Fen Route (Deutsche Fehnroute) is a circular route through the typical fen villages with their canals and bascule bridges. Especially nice: at the paddle-and-pedal stations you can hire a canoe, paddle part of the route and cycle back.
