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.

Narrow bridge over the Datteln Hamm Canal, with a direct view of the lock in Hamm Werries. On the south side there is a bike-accessible driveway, on the north side unfortunately pushing is announced, the stairs and ramp are quite steep.

The Schulweg Steg is a pretty historic bridge with a riveted steel structure, built in 1915-1917. The supporting structure is an anchored suspension bridge. From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the Werries lock.
Danger:
The bridge is not a bike path. There are steep steps on the north side. Although there is a ramp. However, this is so stupidly constructed that even with my small and light bike you have difficulties pushing it down or up.
