The Overijsselse Vecht is a rainwater river in Germany and the Netherlands. Due to the canalization of the Vecht, the water flowed off more easily and the water level was too low for shipping. Seven weirs were constructed in order to properly regulate these. A weir is a valve in a ditch or canal, behind which the water remains to keep the water at a specific level. De Haandrik, Ane (now demolished) Hardenberg, Diffelen (near Mariënberg), Junne (slightly east of Ommen), Vilsteren and Vechterweerd (near Marshoek, between Dalfsen and Zwolle).

The weir at Vilsteren has a working lock with manual operation. Nice to see when boats come through. Furthermore, a nice place to rest, many nice cycling paths pass here.
