Stage 05 - Harlesiel to Wilhelmshaven

The village of Carolinensiel with its particularly beautiful museum harbour is situated around two kilometres south of Harlesiel. The North Sea Coast Cycle Route leads from there for approx. 20 kilometres along meadows and fields passing the villages of Tettens and Wiefels to Jever. The town of Jever boasts a very attractive and well-maintained old town, highlighted by the castle with its 67 metre high onion dome and a beautiful park.

Next, you cycle along the banks of the Hooksieler Tief towards Hooksiel, where the route continues through wide marshland landscapes and arable land. Hooksiel's heritage-protected old harbour is a reminder of the hustle and bustle of the past.

You can expect a journey of approx. 15 kilometres from Hooksiel to Wilhelmshaven. The town has plenty to offer. Including the naval base, the Jade Weser Port, the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge, the Helgoland Quay, plus the south beach for all water lovers to indulge in extensive bathing fun.
