The Bardelgraben is a brook that was supposed to drain the Recker Moor in the border area of ​​the municipalities of Mettingen and Recke. Its course begins north of the Mittelland Canal in the municipality of Westerkappeln. In the upper reaches of the water, especially in the area of ​​the moor, the name Moorkanal is also common. With the move from the municipality of Hopsten to the city of Freren, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia is also moving to Lower Saxony. Here, after a short distance, it flows into the Große Aa at Suttrup .

The Bardelgraben was created around 1870 to drain the Recker Moor and use it for agriculture. It mainly drains areas of Westerkappeln, Mettingen, Recke, Hopsten and Freren.

In the municipality of Hopsten, the Bardelgraben forms the border between the districts of Hopsten and Halverde , and then between Hopsten and Shell .

In the course of the moor renaturation in Recke, the Bardelgraben in the area of ​​the moor was relocated 300 meters to the south in order not to disturb the rewetting of the moor. Here he had mainly contributed to the connection of the moor by dehydration .
