Day 1: Individual arrival in Oldenburg
As the gateway to East Frisia, the old royal seat of Oldenburg is the ideal starting point for the East Frisian beer tour. If you arrive early, you will have enough time to visit the charming old town. In the middle of the town are the magnificent castle and the castle guardhouse, which once marked the boundary to the town's bourgeois areas. Not far away is the Powder Tower, the last remaining building of the former city fortifications. There are numerous stores and restaurants in the city center, so nothing stands in the way of a relaxed evening.
Day 2: Oldenburg – Großefehn, approx. 60 km
Out of the city and into the Ammerland. On flat paths, you cycle past the Zwischenahner Meer and through lush green pastureland. You cycle through fen settlements where the witnesses of the past are still visible today. Enjoy the view of canals, locks, bascule bridges and windmills. As soon as you reach the beer village of Bagband, you can learn more about the brewing process during a guided tour of the Ostfriesen brewery and are well provided with food and drink. Energized and invigorated, you cover the last few kilometers to your stage destination.
Day 3: Großefehn – Carolinensiel region, approx. 60 km
Let's go through the East Frisian expanse. As if by magic, you roll along canals and through meadows and farmland. In the small villages, you will be greeted by the locals with a cheerful "Moin", whether in the morning or in the evening. It's tea time in East Frisia four times a day, giving you the opportunity to try the real East Frisian blend in a teahouse. Pass through the old chieftain town of Aurich and the seaside resort of Esens. You can already smell it, the salty scent of the North Sea. Sit down in a cozy beach chair and enjoy the view of the Wadden Sea.
Day 4: Carolinensiel – Jever, approx. 50 km
With the North Sea always within sight, cycle along the coast today through many small, typical East Frisian villages. Stroll along the beautiful beach promenades with their souvenir stores and buy yourself a souvenir. Have you always wanted to walk barefoot on the seabed? Then don't miss out on a guided mudflat walk (not included). Back on your bike, you leave the coast and soon reach Jever. Here you will not only find the famous brewery of the same name, but also a picturesque old town with numerous historic buildings. You can sample the local beer during a beer tasting in the Haus der Getreuen.
Day 5: Jever – Dangast region, approx. 40 km
Today's stage of your East Frisian beer tour is comparatively short, giving you plenty of time to discover the surrounding area. Take a stroll through the beautiful castle park of the moated castle of Gödens and stop for lunch in the dreamy fishing village of Dangast. Cycle along the dyke to Varel, where Tide beer is brewed. At the Varel brewery, you can expect more than just freshly tapped beer and excellent food. The fantastic view of the ships in the harbor also lets you relax and enjoy the evening.
Day 6: Dangast – Oldenburg, approx. 45 km
On to the last stage! Cycle via Jaderberg to Rastede. The residential town was home to the Counts of the House of Oldenburg for a long time. The castle, which is still owned by the family, is surrounded by a large park. Use the time for a relaxing stroll through the castle park before you set off on the last few kilometers in the saddle. Back in Oldenburg, you have reached the end of your East Frisian beer tour. Enjoy the evening in a restaurant with Updrögt Bohnen, Sinnbohntjesnopp and Wuddels dörnanner - typical dishes of East Frisian cuisine.
