Meckerbrücke (Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge over the Dortmund-Ems Canal, Lingen)

Highlight • Bridge

Legend has it that the city of Lingen wanted to demolish the steel bridge in the 1950s. The two demolition companies commissioned to do it went bankrupt. To this day, the city council's intention to demolish it permanently has been "put on hold" ;-)

Dortmund-Ems Canal

Highlight • River

To the right and left of the Dortmund-Ems Canal, there is a nice foot or bike path.
It's nice to walk, every now and then you can see ducks, seagulls and ships passing by.

Pedestrian Bridge Over the Old Harbor

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge crosses the old port and allows not only the change of sides at the harbor, but also the continuation of the path along the canal.

The pretty Kreuzkirche in the center of Lingen is the oldest Lutheran church in Emsland. It is a listed building and is located directly on Universitätsplatz. Looking is expressly desired :)
