Dattelner Meer
Four canals meet in Datteln: Dortmund-Ems Canal, Rhine-Herne Canal, Wesel-Datteln Canal and Datteln-Hamm Canal. The length of these waterways in the Datteln urban area is a total of 17 kilometers. That is why Datteln confidently calls itself the "largest canal junction in the world." See: roemerlipperoute.de/entdecken/vorstellung-etappenorte/datteln/dattelner-meer

We haven't cycled on the other canals yet, but what we saw on the Dortmund-Ems Canal was a beautiful landscape, and we were able to cycle on mostly good cycle paths along the canal. Between Senden and Münster you can even cycle on the right-hand side of the canal on an asphalt cycle path. The towns of Datteln, Selm, Olfen, Senden, Lüdinghausen and Münster are easily accessible from the canal. The entire stage from Dortmund-Deusen, the start of the canal, to Münster was 220km there and back. In Lüdinghausen and Münster we stayed in 2 very good cyclist hotels. Lüdinghausen, "Hotel No. 11" and Münster "Zum guten Hirten" (approx. 500m from the canal. Bus connection in front of the hotel to the city center. I can only recommend this tour.
