Hiking

The name "Dattelner Meer" comes from the construction of the first canals in north-west Germany. The Datteln canal junction connects the canals of the western German canal network. All four Ruhr area canals meet in the city of Datteln: Dortmund-Ems Canal, Rhein-Herne Canal, Datteln-Hamm Canal and Wesel-Datteln Canal, so that Datteln is rightly called the largest canal junction in Europe.

Hiking

Crossing area of three canals, Wesel-Datteln / Dortmund-Ems / Datteln-Hamm ... each direction is well developed for biking and leads nicely flat and along the water.
