    Since 1914, the Datteln-Hamm Canal has connected the eastern Ruhr area with the cities of Hamm and Lünen to the West German canal network. From the branch from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Datteln, it runs south of the Lippe and ends after 47 km at the height of the Hamm-Uentrop power plant. The originally planned continuation to Lippstadt was no longer pursued after the Second World War. Source: WSV. en

    From here it is only a few meters to Schwansbell Castle in the north and Lake Horstmar with a café in the south.

    Gas and coal are mainly transported via the canal to the power plants in Lünen, Bergkamen and Hamm.
    There are also several marinas for pleasure boats.
