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 Rhine River 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.

Sometimes the route south of the canal is a bit bumpy and could use some renovation, but I always enjoy driving there. Also gladly to the mouth of the Rhine.
