Hanekenfähr, Recreation area in Emsland, Germany.
The recreation area of Hanekenfähr sits at the intersection of three waterways: the Ems River, Dortmund-Ems Canal, and Ems-Vechte Canal, creating a network of water paths.
During the 19th century, Hanekenfähr operated as a ferry crossing point on the Ems River before developing into an essential part of the region's waterway infrastructure.
Local residents gather at Hanekenfähr throughout the year for outdoor activities, maintaining the traditional connection between the Emsland community and its waterways.
The area provides fifteen guest moorings for motorboats, designated cycling paths, walking trails, and a café near the waterfront for refreshments during recreational activities.
Hanekenfähr features an old lock system and the Emswehr water structure, where the merging of the Ems River and Dortmund-Ems Canal creates a distinctive waterfall effect.
