The district of Emsland is an area in the federal state of Lower Saxony. It stretches from the North Rhine-Westphalian state border near Rheine to East Frisia. A vacation in Emsland offers a charming and varied vacation region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
For many vacationers, the beautiful landscape, which is crisscrossed by about 3000 kilometers of bike paths and numerous hiking trails, is certainly a reason to plan a vacation in Emsland. 70 nature reserves offer a fantastically beautiful landscape to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The district was named after the river Ems, which crosses the district. The district is characterized by extensive moorland (Bourtanger Moor) and geest areas. Larger cities in the district are Haren (Ems), Hasel\u00fcnne, Freren, Lingen (Ems), Meppen, Papenburg and Werlte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another attractive aspect is the proximity to the Netherlands. The common state border is a good 60 kilometers long and it is often only a small step into the neighboring country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
