    Hiking

    The Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany, connecting western and eastern Germany over a distance of 325 km. It is the central east-west axis for inland navigation.

    Cycling

    As a cycle tourist, you should pay attention to this: the condition of the cycle paths to the right and left of the canal varies greatly. Perhaps switching to the other side of the canal is worthwhile.
