The shipping canal shortens the route for commercial shipping by around 2.7 kilometers. The average drop of the lock is 5.5 meters, which has significantly reduced the flow speed of the Weser in this area.

Nice path with a view of the lock canal and ships every now and then.

This canal for inland navigation runs parallel to the Weser. Some bridges lead over into the marshland.

"The lock canal is 8.51 km long, begins at Verden and flows back into the Weser here in Baden at the so-called Weser bend. The aim of straightening the river was to shorten the travel times of the still important freight shipping. This project, which had been planned for decades and had already been partially implemented, began in Baden in February 1937. From the Weser bend, the first dredging work began, covering a length of around 200 meters in the direction of Langwedel. The farm track to the pastures east of the Weser bend was interrupted by the canal. In order to create access for milkmaids, etc., the canal bridge was built and used accordingly. The bridge stood alone in the pastures during the last war; the associated canal was only built in the early 1950s."
