Hiking

The towpath canal was laid parallel to the Alster in 1861 on behalf of the developer Adolph Sierich so that the wet meadows on the left bank of the Alster could be drained and built on. The canal, which is 1600 meters long and mostly 15 meters wide, begins opposite the St. Johanniskirche below the Winterhuder ferry house and the Alster shipping dock of the same name and runs parallel to the Alster canalized at the beginning of the 20th century on its left (eastern) side behind the houses and Land of the road towpath.

Gravel riding

A bike path runs here, which can be well used to get quickly through the city and towards the Alsterwanderweg.
