Agriculture, forestry, and nursery cultivation shape our cultural landscape in Ammerland and give it a very special character. At 16 stations, display panels provide information on a variety of topics. The total 43-kilometer-long route leads through the municipalities of Bad Zwischenahn, Westerstede, and Wiefelstede, but can also be ridden in shorter sections. On the information panels, you will gain an exciting insight into very different production processes from agriculture, forestry, and nursery cultivation.
