Immediately above the Werries lock at canal kilometer 40.6 is the Schulweg-Steg, one of the most remarkable pedestrian suspension bridges in Germany, which crosses the Datteln-Hamm canal. The bridge was planned and completed between 1915 and 1917.
The steel suspension structure consists of riveted band belts that are attached to the stiffening girder at both ends, thus forming a self-anchored suspension bridge. The model for this construction was the youngest and longest suspension bridges in Germany at the time, the Kaiser Bridge in Breslau and the Chain Bridge over the Rhine near Cologne.

The bridge goes over the Hamm-Datteln canal and is just before the weir at Werries.

The school path bridge is a historic suspension bridge worth seeing, which serves as a pedestrian bridge.
You can ride your bike onto the bridge from the south side.
Watch out! There are steps on the north side. There are sliding ramps for bikes. However, the steps next to the ramps are narrow and the ramps are inconveniently steep.
