Pünte Ferry on the Großes Meer

Highlight • Bridge

Nice way to get over the water with muscle power. Guaranteed fun for children (not necessarily teenagers) and a bike is also easy to get up and down.

Beautiful and quiet route through a wonderful landscape. The highlight are the two punts that help you get to the other bank.

We actually wanted to walk the route, but it seemed a bit boring on foot... good decision! It was really great on the bike!
Along the Emsjade Canal and other water-bearing structures, exciting crossings with hand-cranked ferries, all kinds of animals and always a good mood... that's how a vacation should be 😎☀️😁

Flat tire on the back of the ferry to Borkum. With difficulty, I found a repair shop in Emden.
