    The 46 km long South-North Canal, which is part of the canal network on the left bank of the Ems, branches off from the Ems-Vechte Canal in Nordhorn and flows into the Haren-Rütenbrock Canal near Rütenbrock. It was navigable until the early 1960s and was used by ships to transport goods (peat) and to drain the moors. The canal, which is still important for drainage, is now well equipped for tourism. With its historic and listed locks and swing bridges, it is extremely popular with cyclists and hikers. Far away from traffic, you can take a relaxing ride along the canal and enjoy the beautiful nature, particularly from Nordhorn to Georgsdorf, on a wonderful cycle path. A section from Lock II to Lock IV is unpaved but easy to navigate. Several shelters invite you to linger.
