The DEK is a great route but more suitable for trekking bikes than racing bikes. There are long gravel sections. Beautiful landscape, nice, sometimes sleepy places and many castles/moated castles that are worth a detour, and not just because of the gastronomy.

Road cycling

It's great to look at from a bike. Pedestrians are strictly forbidden from looking directly at the water. So: grab your bike and ride off and enjoy the view. It stays for a while - so from Dortmund to the Ems, postcards report from people who want to have discovered the end of the rainbow, i.e. the canal.
