The Convertible Tour Stage by Stage

Stage 1: From Emden via Hinte, Krummhörn, and Norden – Coastal Flair and Historic Villages

The convertible tour starts in Emden, the largest city in East Frisia. Emden impresses with its historic harbor, the old town, and numerous museums, including the Otto-Huus honoring the famous humorist Otto Waalkes. Spend a moment in the city and enjoy the view of the harbor and the passing ships.

Next, you'll head to Esens, a historic place with lovely half-timbered houses and the former garden and landscape park. The path takes you through hilly fields and green meadows, perfect for convertible driving.

Then it's on to Wangerland, where the landscape is increasingly shaped by wide meadows and the typical windmills. In this area, many small farms and country houses are scattered, reflecting the typical East Frisian idyll.

Stage 3: From Wangerland via Jever, Aurich, and Leer back to Emden – Fairy Tale Castles, Historic Towns, and an Idyllic Conclusion

The final stage takes you to Jever, a city known for the famous Jever Pils beer. Here you can visit the impressive Jever Castle, surrounded by a vast park. The city with its picturesque alleys and old buildings offers you a true East Frisian experience.

From Jever, you'll continue to Aurich, the oldest city in East Frisia. The city has not only a rich history but also very good connections to the surrounding villages and natural areas. A stop in the old town or at the Aurich Castle is definitely recommended.
