Banter Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Long before Lake Banter existed, a church stood here in the Middle Ages. It was located in front of the dike line and was therefore built on a mound. On January 16, 1511, a storm and ice drift from the devastating St. Anthony's Flood destroyed the church. It was not rebuilt. The debris was used elsewhere. The granite blocks were used for an extension to the Neuender Church, and the timber was used for the construction of the Maadesiel.

Ems-Jade Canal Promenade

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Ems-Jade Canal was built between 1880 and 1888. It was built because of the need to supply the ships of the Imperial Navy in the Imperial naval port of Wilhelmshaven with coal from the Ruhr area. To do this, the Ems had to be connected to Wilhelmshaven as a waterway by a canal.

Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge Wilhelmshaven

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is worth seeing as a historical building. From here you have a beautiful view over the inland ports of Wilhelmshaven and the southern part of the city. And if you're lucky, you'll see the opening of the swing bridge.

The dyke bridge will be reopened mid-September 24th, and the small detour will then no longer be necessary.

At the end of the day, a tour of the south beach. The sound of the waves 🌊 was so calming that I missed the turnoff for the way back.
