The canal runs between the German town of Nordhorn and the Dutch town of Almelo. On the German side it is still partially navigable for small boats. It originally had a bed width of 7.5 m, and on the surface the width was 13.9 m. The canal was 33 km long and had six locks and ten drawbridges, although not all of them have been preserved.

Cycle paths run along the canal on both sides. Nature has created a biotope along the canal, with waterfowl, reeds, and water lilies.
