🌊 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.

Wonderful cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The bike paths on the route are really great and only a few are more difficult to drive on. All paths are wide enough and benches invite you to rest at regular intervals.
