🌊 The Vechte River is the lifeblood of Metelen and significantly shapes the character of this "Vechte town." The Metelen section of the Vechte is particularly interesting due to the successful combination of historical use and modern renaturalization.

An easy tour. A beautiful route away from main roads, through forests and meadows. Numerous rest areas invite you to take a break. Restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlors are located along the route.
