The 38 km long river, initially called the Streek, flows in the municipalities of Emstek, Cloppenburg, Garrel, Bösel and Edewecht. It has its source 2 km north of Höltinghausen. From here it flows in a northerly direction, crosses under the federal highway 213 and continues to flow past Kellerhöhe, west past Beverbruch and east past Garrel. The Vehne now forms the border between the districts of Cloppenburg and Oldenburg on a section. To the east of Jeddeloh II, it crosses the coastal channel. Since it initially crossed the canal open, its water level fluctuated and this had to be compensated for by sluices. This was remedied by the construction of the Vehnedüker in 1927, which since then has led the river with a length of 57 m and a diameter of 1.6 m under the bottom of the coastal canal in order to reappear immediately next to the main road 401. Here it changes its course to the west to finally flow south at Edewecht as a left tributary into the floodplain, which flows through the Zwischenahner Sea.

trivia

The lower reaches of the Vehne formed the border between the Duchy of Oldenburg and the Lower Monastery of Münster until 1803.

Up to eight ship slipways existed on the navigable Vehne near Edewecht well into the 19th century. T. built ocean-going sailing ships. For the transfer, the Vehne was dammed up in the winter months so that the ships could sail towards the Ems on the outgoing wave.

In Jeddeloh I, the area south of the Vehne is referred to as "Beyond the Vehne", and that to the north is referred to as "This side of the Vehne".

In 1494 a water mill was built in South Edewecht on the Vehne. It was relocated several times and demolished in 1923 at its last location on today's "Kampweg".

In the 1930s, not far from this former mill site, there was a river bathing facility on the Vehne in South Edewecht (south of today's "Evenkamp" settlement, directly next to the former railway bridge). However, bathing was done in a simple water basin
