Trail Reviews
"On towpaths and church paths between Vechte and Ems" is the name of the tour on the Bentheim Tourismus website. After Nordhorn, the route follows the Ems-Vechte Canal for a long stretch. Here it is mostly straight ahead and the landscape does not change much. This changes from Ellbergen and it becomes more varied.
Beautiful route, very varied. Thanks to Heribert 😇

Boats and ships were once pulled along the waterway on towpaths with the help of draft animals. Today, these paths are wonderful cycle paths that you will explore on this tour. But there is not only a lot of water to experience on this tour, but also church buildings to admire on former church paths

We did the tour on July 20th, 2024, but started in Lingen/Hanekenfähr.
A great tour that we would like to recommend. 👍🏻👍🏻
However, the bike path along the Ems-Vechte canal is a bit "rustic" in places. 🤔
