Between Lahde and Döhren an approximately eight kilometers parallel and east to the Weser extending lock canal shortens the "waterway Weser". By lowering and raising the water level in the lock in Windheim, the height difference of the water dammed up in front of the weir in Lahde is overcome. The lock canal opens in Döhren back into the Weser. The same types of fish can be found in the lock canal as in the Weser, so the canal is a popular fishing spot.
