Ems-Vechte Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A bike ride along the Ems-Vechta canal is always nice and there is a very nice break hut at the junction to the airport.

The "Water Town Povel" is a newly created district on the former premises of the textile factory Ludwig Povel & Co., which went bankrupt in 1979, in the center of Nordhorn. The new, densely populated district, which is around 18 hectares in size and is also affectionately known as "Little Venice", includes city residential and commercial buildings, serviced residential complexes, a city museum (Povel Tower), a cultural center, a park and a viewing hill (pyramid) with a wonderful view over Nordhorn and the Vechtesee.

Newly created waterways that branch off from the Vechte river flowing past and from the Nordhorn-Almelo canal give the "Water Town Povel" a high recognition value and are used daily for numerous boat trips. This gives you the opportunity to discover the charming water town from the "duck perspective".

The popular pedestrian zone with numerous shops for shopping and a wide variety of restaurants is just a few steps away.

Nordhorn Grain Mill

Highlight • Monument

People used to work hard here – today they enjoy it more. The Kornmühle offers a wide range of cabaret events. But not only the cultural offer makes the grain mill a sight of Nordhorn, the special ambience is also very appreciated. Here there is still contact between artists and spectators, and the grain mill also offers a beautiful setting.

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.
