Nordhorn

　　Nordhorn is both a green city and a picturesque water town. Most of its buildings retain traditional red-brick architecture, yet modern structures can also be seen, perfectly blending tradition with modernity. The riverside scenery along the Vechte River and the beauty of the canals make for great walking routes and opportunities to enjoy the rural landscape. The canal, which has been around for over 100 years, is now mainly used for recreation. Visitors can take a boat ride on the tranquil waters to admire the city’s canal views. The Nordhorn City Museum, opened in 1996, is a great place to learn about the city’s history and culture. The museum’s top floor features a café where you can sip coffee while taking in the panoramic view of the city.
