The old, historic windmill in Rysum is definitely worth a visit. During our visit in September 2019 you could visit them for free and see for yourself how they work. From the upper platform you have a beautiful panoramic view. A few euros in the donation container at the exit should definitely be left for the preservation of the beautifully restored building.

Nice short round. It should be noted, however, that no dogs are allowed on the dike, as there is sheep breeding area ... not on a leash.
So not possible with dogs.
We went close to the Mahlbusen along. It works, but you have to walk a long distance through tall grass and over a pasture.

The Knock - the ideal place to relax and unwind

The Knock is about 15 km northwest of the seaport of Emden. Long dykes and a small sandy beach invite you to take a walk or relax in the sun in almost complete seclusion. In addition to your own relaxation, dogs also get their money's worth on the dog beach.
Dogs are allowed to walk without a leash on the paved path to the back of the sandy bay and also in the sandy bay itself. However, this only applies to dogs that can be reliably retrieved.
On the dyke itself and in the hinterland there is generally a leash obligation.
The beach at the pier is not suitable for swimming due to the strong undercurrent. Information about the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site, which stretches off the Lower Saxony coast between the border with the Netherlands at Dollart and the Elbe estuary near Cuxhaven.

In summer it is quite crowded because the people of Emden use it as a free lido. Unfortunately the water is rather cloudy and smelly. You can stand well with the camper on site.
