The Vechtesee is located in the inner city of Nordhorn , the district town of the Grafschaft Bentheim district in Lower Saxony . It is one of the largest lakes in the county.
Emergence
Floods in the Vechte were frequent in earlier years, one of the most severe being that of 1946, when large parts of Nordhorn's inner city were under water. First measures were taken as early as the 1930s. In the 1960s, the Vechte was comprehensively regulated up to the Nordhorn-Almelo Canal . The Vechtesee itself was created in 1974 to protect against flooding . Sand should be deposited in the 16 hectare Vechtesee so that the Vechte is always deep enough and can drain off enough water ( sand trap ).
