Vechte River restoration in Schüttorf

Highlight • River

The Vechtesteine are also very beautiful, they give the river something special. If you are brave and big enough (because of the length of your stride), you can also go over there.

The view is also called Europabrücke from the Vechtebrücke SÜD, over the landscape here in Schüttorf. This bridge is also part of the "Töddenweg", which was long ago a main hiking trail in the direction of Deventer to Holland. This trade route was safer for the Kiepenträger (Tödden), who came from the Osnabrück area than the former traffic routes. Coming from Osnabrück the path leads via Rheine to Schüttorf, then via Suddendorf over the beautiful Bentheimer mountains to the castle in Bentheim. Then continue through Gildehaus to Holland and on to Deventer.
Particularly noteworthy is the hiking trail (possibly also mountain bike) over the Bentheimer mountains. A highlite!
