    Very nice gravel path between the Herne-Datteln Canal and the Colanai-Ei, or that of the former Achenbach shaft 4 colliery. It goes on a narrow path through green forest, very nice to ride for the gravel bike.

    Away from the roads, there's a good connection through the Brambauer district. However, there are occasional road crossings. The old route currently runs through Brambauer. Watch out for dogs.

    And no one notices that this is the Datteln-Hamm Canal?????

    Unfortunately, this is absolutely not a HL for me. It's completely muddy for 10 months of the year, and the path isn't really maintained, as the asphalt route continues directly parallel to it.

    This section (behind the Colani Egg, if you're coming from Brambauer) is more likely to be ridden by accident. Coming from Brambauer, it's a bumpy downhill, so I ride it occasionally. It's truly pitch black here in the dark!!
