Germany’s oldest and longest fenland colony is located in the north of Emsland, in close vicinity of East Frisia. Idyllically situated fen houses, 40 kilometers of channels with romantic bascule and swing bridges as well as anchoring museum ships give Germany’s southernmost seaport city its very own appearance. The town on the Ems offers a unique combination of urban ambience, natural experience, latest technology and living history.
