Stage 6 of the Ems Cycle Route.

Via Heede with its thousand-year-old lime tree, the route leads through the moorland landscapes before reaching the stage destination of Papenburg. The Esterweger Dose raised bog in particular is worth a stopover with its rare bird species such as the golden plover.
Papenburg itself is home to the famous Meyer Werft shipyard and enchants with its idyllic town centre, which is criss-crossed by 40 km of waterways.
