Nice walk, mostly along the water. The old canal with the somewhat old yachts of the Lingen Yacht Club is very beautiful. A good 6 kilometers with lots of variety

Hanekenfahr, a nice place for those seeking relaxation. Hanekenfahr is at the "crossing" of three watercourses: 1.) Ems; 2.) Dortmund-Ems Canal and 3.) Ems-Vechte Canal.
Especially in the summer time, guests are attracted by the hotel by the waterfall and because of the campsite.
