Blue bridge over the Vechte

Highlight • Bridge

The "Blue Bridge", which is officially called the "Vechte outflow bridge", consists of a blue-painted steel structure. The flooring of the narrow pedestrian and bicycle bridge is made of wooden planks. A busy bicycle route in Nordhorn runs over the almost graceful bridge, which spans the Vechte river flowing out of the Vechtesee.

Historic lock on the connecting canal

Highlight • Monument

Historic lock with swing bridge in the connecting canal. What is special about this lock is that it has four pairs of gates instead of the usual two. This serves to compensate for the changing water levels between the Ems-Vechte Canal and the Vechte.

Vechtesee (Lake Vechte)

Highlight • Lake

The Vechtesee is located in the Nordhorn city area. There are numerous recreational options, such as renting pedal boats on the Vechte See from May to October, or exploring the area with the excursion boats "Vechtestromer" or "Vechtesonne".

You can also just cycle past it and enjoy the view over the water.
