The old route of the Dortmund-Ems canal between Datteln and Olfen is a structural masterpiece. Opened in 1899, the canal overpass of the Lippe is particularly striking. Highly recommended.

Great gravel route between Dattelner Meer and Olfen. However, due to the coarse surface, it is not suitable for pure racing bikes.

The historic canal bridge, with the help of which the so-called "old journey" of the Dortmund-Ems Canal was crossed the Lippe, is located in the Lehmhegge area and can be reached via the old operating routes of the "old journey".
