In most places, the canal is navigable on the paths on both sides. The paths have no gradients and mainly have a surface made of loose chippings. They are therefore not suitable for inline skating.
You can relax well on the canal and still see a lot.

The Hamm-Datteln Canal is really beautiful and its play of colors is very impressive.

The first stage was completed in 1914. It passed through the lock Hamm to behind the city port Hamm, 1926 then was expanded by the lock Werries the channel to Schmehausen and put into operation in 1933, where it ends today in a large harbor at the power plant Westfalen.
