The tour along the Lippe or the Wesel-Datteln Canal is highly recommended. Very good cycle paths right next to the water and interesting stops along the way!

The Wesel-Datteln Canal (WDK, water body number: 75101) 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. The 60 km long canal runs parallel to the south of the Lippe in its immediate vicinity.
