This bridge over the Dortmund-Ems Canal is suitable for trains, cars and pedestrians. As a hiker you have to be a little careful of cyclists as the pedestrian path is not very wide.

The nuclear power plant was built to replace the adjacent Lingen Nuclear Power Plant, which was shut down in 1977.
The power plant was built in the early 1980s and went into full operation on June 20, 1988.

The nuclear power plant will probably close this month (April 2023). This closure has been planned for years, has been postponed several times, and now that the energy crisis is here, there are many discussions again between proponents and opponents of the closure.

From here you have a great view of Hanekenfähr with its lock, the hotel "Am Wasserfall", the Emswehr (waterfall) and what the Ems becomes, the Dortmunder-Ems Canal and the Ems-Vechte Canal. The Ems itself continues to flow over the Ems weir.
