Tips
The Boker-Heide Canal is an important Westphalian cultural monument and, with its lock systems and the long rows of trees that accompany it, has a significant impact on the landscape. Bike paths invite you to cycle along the canal. The canal has lost its importance as an irrigation and amelioration canal; today it is mainly used to regulate groundwater. Two canal keepers operate the 16 functional weirs, through which the water is fed or diverted to the meadows and fields as required.
