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.

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.

Fountain in the pedestrian zone in Nordhorn

Highlight • Structure

Two beautiful, ground-level fountains in the middle of the pedestrian zone. They not only delight people, but are also "populated" by pigeons and ducks

The Reading Girl Statue

Highlight • Monument

There she sits: in the middle of the pedestrian zone and doesn't let herself be disturbed by the many people passing by.

Vechte Riverside in Nordhorn

Highlight • River

The Vechte is beautiful as it meanders through the city. Many bridges for pedestrians and cyclists cross them. There are many cafes, restaurants and houses on the Vechte, very idyllic.

Marienburg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

As a foreigner you can get into trouble. Many bridges cross Vechte and canals here. At least there is a nameplate on the bridge here.
