Emden, Germany

 Emden

The old Frisian town of Emden, situated near the point where the river Ems flows into the Dollert inlet, is the most westerly German port on the North Sea and the largest after Hamburg and Bremen. Lying at the end of the Dortmund-Ems Canal, the port mainly serves the Ruhr (coal, ore and grain; oil terminal). The Ems-Jade Canal also provides a link with Wilhelmshaven. Other important industries are shipbuilding, car manufacture and the handling of North Sea gas.

Getting there and away

Train would seem to be the best way to get to or from Emden, connecting with an airport or perhaps using the train to get all the way home.

Every day, InterCity trains run in the direction of Luxembourg(via Münster, the Ruhr and Cologne) and to Berlin /Cottbus and Leipzig (via Bremen and Hanover). Regional services run to Münster and via Oldenburg and Bremen to Hanover. Some of those trains that terminate in Emden, run to Emden Außenhafen and are timed to connect with the ferries to Borkum. The others terminate at the Hauptbahnhof.
