The small lock and the customs house are the first things you see as you leave Nordhorn and drive along the canal into Holland.

Shortly before the Dutch border, a few meters further on is the border house

Very nice border crossing for cyclists in the Netherlands.
If you would like to go to the border crossing at Frensdorferhaar, you can always turn one way further.

The comfortable weather shelter on the cycle path of the Nordhorn-Almelo canal is located directly on the seamless border with the Netherlands. It offers seating for around 10 people. From here you have an excellent view of the historic "Old Customs House" and the "Border Lock" next door.

Super nice rest area right on the Almelo-Nordhorn canal. Unfortunately, because of its beauty and location, it is almost always occupied.

Here at the green border crossing there is also a notice board with some different rules (NL) / (D)!
Already knew ?
In the Netherlands it is forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages outdoors!

Old border lock on the cycle path of the Nordhorn-Almelo canal.
Right next to it is the old customs house on the canal, which houses a small museum. The building is used for official events in the city of Nordhorn.

The Frensdorfer Haar lock, also known as the border lock, is 62 meters long and has a passage width of six and a half meters. The lock was inaugurated in 1905, but the lock has not been used since 1960.

Here at the "bicycle" junction, the signs show the directions to the Netherlands, Niedergrafschaft, Obergrafschaft and Nordhorn.
