Catholic Church of St. Andreas and church square

Boats and ships were once pulled along the waterway on towpaths with the help of draft animals. Today, these paths are wonderful cycle paths that you will explore on this tour. But there is not only a lot of water to experience on this tour, but also church buildings to admire on former church paths

We did the tour on July 20th, 2024, but started in Lingen/Hanekenfähr.
A great tour that we would like to recommend. 👍🏻👍🏻
However, the bike path along the Ems-Vechte canal is a bit "rustic" in places. 🤔
