But there is not only a lot of water to experience on this tour, but also church buildings to admire on former church paths

We did the tour on July 20th, 2024, but started in Lingen/Hanekenfähr.
A great tour that we would like to recommend. 👍🏻👍🏻
However, the bike path along the Ems-Vechte canal is a bit "rustic" in places. 🤔
