Oberwieser Bridge (on the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Waltrop-Oberwiese)

In the direction of Schleusenpark Waltrop from Dortmund, it is the last opportunity for cyclists to make a turn back uphill towards Dortmund without carrying the bike - the Oberwieser Bridge. On both sides of the canal, at operating kilometers 13,335, you can change to the side of the water without stairs, even with a child trailer, via the Lohburger Straße and Am Felling municipal roads or via an access road. The bridge, built in 1961, has a span of 49.00 meters and a width of 5.30 meters and is operated by the WSA Duisburg-Meiderich. Just a few meters away is the Niermann farm with its farm shops (said to be a real insider tip for shopping for strawberries and asparagus) and a farmer's parlour.

The Oberwieser Bridge, located on the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Waltrop-Oberwiese, offers cyclists an important opportunity to cross the canal without having to carry their bikes. This bridge represents the last opportunity, especially for those coming from Dortmund in the direction of Schleusenpark Waltrop, to turn back towards Dortmund. Another advantage of the bridge is that it offers barrier-free access on both sides of the canal at operating km 13,335, which means that cyclists with child trailers can also use the bridge without stairs.
