General information about the Datteln-Hamm Canal (DHK) and the DHK cycle path
The DHK runs between Datteln (branch of the Dortmund-Ems Canal) via Lünen, Bergkamen to Hamm in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is part of the canal system (Dortmund-Ems Canal, Rhine-Herne Canal and Wesel-Datteln Canal). The DHK was built between 1914 and 1933 and has a total length of 47.2 km. It is fed by water from the Lippe River near Hamm. Numerous city ports and power stations are located along the DHK. They serve as transshipment ports for coal, gas, oil, sand and cement. The DHK is now increasingly used for pleasure boats and for leisure activities. Larger sports ports can be found in the Marina-Rünthe (Bergkamen) or in the Preußenhafen, for example. The canal can be crossed over numerous bridges. There are always rest areas and small city ports along the canal. The DHK cycle path runs mostly along both sides of the canal. With a few exceptions, such as interruptions caused by power stations, it is almost flat. The path is mostly gravel and partly tarred, so it can be used easily even in rainy weather.

Rest and sometimes a ship along the canal is always great!
