Hengstforder Mill

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful mill and of course a very good restaurant. After refreshment, a bike tour or walk to the adjacent nature reserve Aper Tief is recommended.

The Aper Tief is still influenced by the tides and boasts a very rare freshwater mudflat, a rich birdlife, and a well-maintained hiking trail starting at Hengstforder Mühle, where you can stop for a refreshment. The second half, however, follows a farm track, but it's also beautiful.

Aper Tief Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Between Detern and Apen we drive along the small river that takes us from the mouth of the Jümme along this nature reserve. The route here on the south side of the reserve is absolutely pleasant to drive. If you change to the right, i.e. northern, side of the water just before Apen, you will also pass the Hengstford Mill.

Aper Tief Nature Reserve

Highlight • River

The Aper Tief is a small river in the Lower Saxon communities of Apen in the district of Ammerland and Detern in the community of Jümme in the district of Leer. It begins west of Apen at the confluence of the Große Süderbäke and the Große Norderbäke, runs roughly in an east-west direction and flows into the Jümme south of the municipality of Detern.

Jümme River

Highlight • River

Variety for the whole family

In southern East Frisia, along the Jümme, the towns of Detern, Filsum and Nortmoor form the joint municipality. Each of the places is unique and worth visiting.

Detern, a historic market town, was once the gateway to East Frisia. Detern discovered tourism early on and is a state-recognized resort.

Filsum is a typical East Frisian clustered village with many historic agricultural buildings in the town center. The “XXL East Frisian”, known from television, also lived here.

Nortmoor, in the immediate vicinity of the town of Leer, is also characterized by agriculture, but also by a large industrial area where the Bünting food company is based.
