Nordhorn's cycling infrastructure has seen significant improvements, with the most popular bike path along the connecting canal now featuring a second lane. This upgrade, completed last year, has preserved old alley trees and given bikers priority at intersections. The city's 'Comfort Bike Paths' project has earned recognition, placing third in the German Cycling Award 2018.

The seven-kilometer bike path, stretching along the Nordhorn-Almelo and connecting canals, now offers bikers right-of-way at all intersections. This change, implemented at two key junctions - Heseper Weg and Frensdorferhaar - is part of Nordhorn's broader cycling concept. Bikers can now enjoy uninterrupted journeys, as they no longer need to stop at underpasses along the canal route.

The city's commitment to bike promotion is evident in its nomination for the German Cycling Award 2018. Despite limited information on the renovators of the 'Comfort Bike Path', the project's success is undeniable. Drivers must now yield to bikers, ensuring safer and more enjoyable rides.

Nordhorn's bike path along the canals now prioritizes bikers, with a second lane and redesigned intersections. This seven-kilometer route, part of the city's cycling concept, promotes active transportation and has been recognized nationally. Bikers can now enjoy safer and more convenient rides, with no need to stop at underpasses or yield to drivers at intersections.
