Mittelland Canal Path

It is extremely dangerous to go swimming in canals (especially with heavy traffic). Large ships can hardly see you and even if they do, they cannot stop in time. Furthermore, you can be pulled under them by suction or currents caused by ships passing by. You can be the best swimmer in the world, you had no chance.Therefore it is also forbidden to swim in channels (except in marked areas)

At the Mittelland Canal you can do meters by bike. From time to time there is also a bench where you can sit down for a little picnic. In summer you can go swimming here and there. So just pack your swimming trunks. NOT suitable for non-swimmers and bad swimmers!

Magnificent section of the route with
a lot to discover.
