In this section you can drive along the canal, unfortunately mostly on a bumpy dirt road. The view of ships and bridges is worthwhile.

Be sure to stop and eat a giant currywurst with french fries in the beer garden ... with a wheat beer and everything will be fine again😀🚴

The Mittelland Canal (MLK) is a federal waterway [2] and with a length of 325.3 kilometers it is the longest artificial waterway in Germany. Including branch and connecting canals, the length is 392 km. It connects the Dortmund-Ems Canal with the Weser, Elbe and Elbe-Havel Canal. In a broader sense, it is part of a connection between the Rhine and the Oder. In the west, the connection to the Rhine is established via the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the Rhine-Herne Canal or the Wesel-Datteln Canal. In the east, the Elbe-Havel Canal, Untere Havel Waterway and Havel-Oder Waterway connect the Mittelland Canal with the Oder. In a European dimension, it enables a connection between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Switzerland on the one hand with Poland and the Czech Republic on the other.
In Minden the Mittelland Canal crosses the Weser valley at the Minden waterway intersection. The canal crosses the Weser in two structures, so-called trough bridges. There is a connection to the Weser via the connecting canal north and the shaft lock or the connecting canal south with the two locks of the industrial port.
