April 27, 2023,Alte Kanalallee – Radfahren an der deutsch-niederländischen Grenze
Alte Kanalallee - cycling on the German-Dutch border 04/27/2023
Tour proposal from the County of Bentheim, start/finish changed to junction 13 at the green border on the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal.
Route contains many good paths of this border region, a good suggestion!

Wonderful tour on great bike paths. The Dutch know what cyclists love. 😀
The Grenzweg on the Dutch/German "former" border leads as an avenue through a moor and heath landscape. A bit narrow in some places, but easy to drive on. Otherwise, pure economic routes or super nice bike paths. 👍

What fantastic cycling weather was that today?!

We left the car in Denekamp/NL at the natural history museum and then rode our bikes in a figure eight to Nordhorn and back.

It was like a little vacation today 🥰

and you're happy if it stays dry!?


But even spontaneously and unplanned, in the water town of Nordhorn, you can almost always go on the beautiful paths from the south of the city along the Nordhorn-Almelo canal to the Vechtesee, near the city center, with some summer weather. An interesting loop through the holiday park on …

A beautiful tour through dreamlike heath landscapes, along the old border path and the Vecht.
A particular highlight was the old customs house and the final visit to the zoo.
