geography
River course
The Dinkel rises in North Rhine-Westphalia in the western Münsterland in the Coesfeld district between Ahaus and Coesfeld in the municipality of Rosendahl . There their source is in the district of Holtwick, 2 km south of the village center.
From a height of around 80 m it flows from there first west-southwest in the direction of Gescher - where it forms the municipal boundary of Rosendahl for around 3 km - as well as the A 31 and then parallel to this in a northerly direction to Legden and Heek . After crossing under the federal highway, it reaches Gronau a little further northwest . In the Gronau urban area, it was straightened several times, especially for the purposes of the local textile companies . Behind Gronau, the Dinkel crosses the German-Dutch border, flows unevenly through a charming landscape in the area of the municipalities of Losser and Denekamp and returns to the north-east of Ootmarsum on German territory, in the Lower County of Bentheim in Lower Saxony . It flows into the Vechte on the northern outskirts of Neuenhaus .
