Gravel riding

This idyllic gravel tour takes you along forest and meadow paths through the Wilsum Mountains and the Itterbeck Heath.

You start in Uelsen, right by the market square, and are in the forest in just a few minutes. Steadily climbing and descending, you'll race along small trails through the Wilsum Mountains and the wild, romantic heathland until you reach the Dinkel.

It's worth stopping at the Dinkel Weir to enjoy the view of the river and the surrounding nature before cycling home via Lage. In Uelsen, you can stop for a bite to eat and reflect on today's nature experiences.

Dinkel Weir

Highlight • Bridge

In Lage, the bottom slide and bridge at the Dinkel weir have been completed. This was announced by the district of Grafschaft Bentheim. The construction of the bottom slide restored the river's continuity in accordance with the European Water Framework Directive. Over the years, obstacles to migration for fish, among other things, have also arisen in the Dinkel area, which have now been removed by the measures. This included the demolition of the old bridge and weir system and the construction of a new two-span bridge with a flood channel opening. The reconstruction work on the weir system began in 2019. According to the head of the Lower Saxony State Office for Water Management, Coastal and Nature Conservation, Dorothea Altenhofen, the planned measures at the Dinkel weir in Neuenhaus and the bottom slide will achieve complete continuity on the Lower Saxony side of the Dinkel. The construction project was funded by EU and state funds with 1.5 million euros.
