Signposted in both directions, because of the flat terrain, it makes no particular demands on physical fitness, even if not all of the mostly low-traffic routes are paved or asphalted. Alternatively, the path can already be started in Emmen in the Netherlands, then has a length of 205 km.
The Geestweg is one of the hiking trails that are maintained by the Wiehengebirgsverband Weser-Ems . Traditionally, the Geestweg is marked by a white stone grave or a white "G"; For some time now, the logo has been a square sign with a winding, brown path on a white background that crosses a river and a meadow.
