Nature conservation and navigation instructions
Visitors can go on a tour of Osnabruck, but portage at the weir is a very cumbersome task. Getting out of the canoe at the Mittellandkanal (Mittelland Canal) 116.9 km along the river also takes a lot of effort. From this point, there is a 3 kilometre stretch where getting out of the canoe with the help of a vehicle is recommended. At the weir in Bersenbrück, do not canoe down the arm of the river because you will not be able to get out of your canoe along this stretch of the route. There are no more weirs in the section between Quakenbrück and Meppen.
For further information, please contact the district of Emsland’s regional nature conservation authority.
