Pure nature! Three important nature reserves in one 22 km round trip. So don't forget your camera and binoculars!

The almost 22 km long circular tour leads partly along the River Ems, past the "Rietberger Fischteiche" nature reserve with a viewpoint, through the "Rietberger Emsniederungen" nature reserve and on to the "Steinhorster Becken" nature reserve. With a bit of luck, you may spot the common snipe, curlew and other endangered animals.
