Between the green meadows and the chimneys of the Ruhr district industry, the Datteln-Hamm canal meanders through the landscape.

It's already clear. You can love or hate cycle paths on the canal. I like the paths when there is hardly any wind. The ground on the canal is usually easy to navigate. When the weather is nice you can also meet other species. So please be considerate of each other.

The Datteln-Hamm Canal has connected the eastern Ruhr area with the cities of Hamm and Lünen to the West German canal network since 1914. From the branch off the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Datteln, it runs south of the Lippe and ends after 47 km at the Hamm-Uentrop power station. The originally planned extension to Lippstadt was no longer pursued after the Second World War.
