One of the most interesting attractions in the area is the Emsland Moor Museum , located near Groß Hesepe. The museum explores the history of the region's vast moorlands, the people who lived and worked there, and the difficult task of reclaiming and cultivating the land. Peatlands once covered large areas of this part of Germany. For generations, peat was cut and dried for use as fuel, while drainage and land reclamation transformed parts of the landscape into farmland. Today, the remaining moorlands are also valued for their ecological importance and their role in preserving biodiversity. The museum provides a fascinating look at how people adapted to a challenging environment and how the relationship between industry, agriculture, and nature has changed over time.

Aurich is an old city with medieval roots dating back to the 800s. It is located in northern Germany and has a population of about 42 000 people.  One of Aurich’s most recognizable landmarks is the Stiftsmühle, a historic windmill that stands nearly 30 metres tall. Built of approximately 200,000 bricks, the five-storey mill is a reminder of the importance of wind power and grain milling in the region. Visitors can explore its traditional machinery and enjoy views of the surrounding countryside. Another notable building is Aurich Castle, which developed from an earlier fortified residence and was associated with the Cirksena rulers. The town also features the Lambertikirche, a church with a distinctive tower that has been a landmark for generations. The old town centre is especially appealing, with historic façades, small shops, cafés, and pedestrian-friendly streets. The Pingelhus, a former harbour watchman's building, is another interesting reminder of the town’s commercial past. ...
