The canal is great for cycling: The bike path leads on both sides of the canal far more than 100 kilometers without a break directly on the water to the Elbe. Very nice e route, also well suited for longer tours, since the route is fairly straight and is very pleasant to drive (little slope).

The canal was opened in 1976 after an eight-year construction period.
