The Wesel-Datteln Canal is a federal waterway in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and, after the Rhine, the busiest waterway in Germany. The shipping canal runs through the northern Ruhr area and connects the river Rhine near Wesel with the Dortmund-Ems Canal at the Datteln waterway junction.
Great bike trails.

There is no lifting bridge here. These are two lifting gates of the Datteln lock.
