Your Magical Journey Guide
This is a quietly satisfying northbound run across the North European Plain — from Arnhem’s leafy parklands through the agricultural heart of eastern Holland into the broad, low-lying landscapes of Lower Saxony and on to the great port of Hamburg. Expect long, effortless cruising stretches, intimate Dutch and German market towns, living WWII history near the start, and a rousing finish amid Hanseatic brick and harbour lights.
If you enjoy motorcycles or motorsport, this is a worthwhile short detour (≈22 km, ~44 min). Park, walk a short circuit perimeter for photos of the track and start/finish area, visit the visitor shop or any open exhibition, and soak up the atmosphere — especially rewarding if you time it for a race/track day. If you’re indifferent to motorsport, it’s a lower-priority detour compared with historic towns or scenic viewpoints on this Arnhem–Hamburg route.

Quick photo stop at the legendary TT Circuit Assen — swing off the route, park your bike, grab a shot of the entrance/grandstand, breathe in the racetrack vibe and tell the story you rode past the 'Cathedral of Speed' in the Netherlands.

Stop here if you want a memorable urban break — the Forum's striking building and rooftop vantage make for a great photo and a relaxed place to reset on a longer ride.

A strong choice for riders who prioritize waterfront camping and easy access to a historic Hanseatic town. Expect a social, boater-friendly site with direct Ems-river views and good facilities for motorcycles; if you want mountains, total solitude, or pristine dark-sky stargazing, this isn't the spot—however for a relaxed riverside stop on the Arnhem→Hamburg leg it's practical and scenic.
A solid, comfortable stop on the Arnhem→Hamburg corridor for riders who prize waterfront and quiet rural nights more than mountain views. Offers easy access to Papenburg (shipyard viewing, cafés and supplies), level bike-friendly pitches and canal-side atmosphere.

Good stop for motorcycle travelers who prioritise waterfront and open skies: you get sand-front pitches, a casual café and big river sunsets.

Good choice for a motorcycle traveller who wants reliable facilities and a true Elbe riverfront experience within reach of Hamburg — excellent for sunset and ship‑watching and convenient for city access.

Stop for a stylish riverside pause at the end of a long stage: excellent views of the Elbe and Hamburg’s port, top-rated service and cocktails make this a memorable city highlight — especially for sunset drinks after a day of long-distance riding. It’s a polished, high-rated urban experience rather than a local-heritage meal. Must try: Catch of the day / seasonal seafood (or the hotel’s seafood platter) served with a signature cocktail — the easiest way to taste Hamburg’s maritime influence while enjoying the view.
Solid, well-reviewed family campground and a convenient, comfortable overnight for a motorcyclist doing the Arnhem–Hamburg run who wants easy facilities (food, chalets, level pitches). If your priorities are waterfront, mountain views or deep seclusion and top-tier stargazing, plan a detour to a lakeside or heathland site further north/east — use Kerstgenshof as a practical, pleasant stop rather than a scenic highlight.
If you can spare a short detour, park up, grab a quick stretch on the purple heath (in season), snap a photo by the dunes/woods and look for red deer or wild boar — a calm, scenic 20–30 minute breather.

Stop if you want a reliable, hearty and very flexible meal that lets everyone in your group eat what they like.

Must try: A mixed sampler/variety plate (rijsttafel-style or buffet sampler) — the best way to taste a bit of the restaurant’s international offerings in one sitting.
A solid choice for a motorcyclist who wants a peaceful, rural overnight with easy parking and excellent dark skies — especially if you’re chasing quiet, pastoral scenery and stargazing.

Otherwise it’s a pleasant, accessible base to explore Westerwolde and nearby historic Wedde.
Good, low-key stop for motorcyclists who want a quiet, well-kept site with easy parking and a big sky for stargazing.
