I always enjoy boating on the canal. Especially in the evenings when the weather is nice! It's quiet and not too crowded!

The Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany and plays a central role in the European inland navigation network. It runs from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Hörstel (North Rhine-Westphalia) to the Elbe River near Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt) and stretches for approximately 325 kilometers. The canal is one of the most important east-west connections for inland navigation in Germany. It links numerous rivers and canals, including the Rhine, the Weser, the Elbe, and, via further connections, the Oder. This allows for the transport of goods across northern Germany without ships being dependent on the fluctuating water levels of natural rivers. Bulk goods such as coal, ore, building materials, grain, and containers are primarily transported via the Mittelland Canal. It thus contributes significantly to relieving road and rail traffic and is a major factor for the economy and logistics in Germany.

The Mittelland Canal is one of Germany's most important waterways, the longest man-made structure of its kind in the country, and forms the heart of the east-west shipping connection from the Rhine to the Oder. Anyone traveling Europe by ship and wanting to travel to the Spree by boat, or vice versa via Berlin, will navigate the Mittelland Canal. Quite a few ships do so. The Mittelland Canal itself begins near Hörstel in North Rhine-Westphalia as a branch of the Dortmund-Ems Canal and extends to Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt, where it joins the Elbe-Havel Canal on the Elbe.

Attention: The Süntelbuchenallee is closed due to work on the State Garden Show until April 26th!

Pure relaxation! I've been coming here every now and then for decades, watching the ships and barges pass by. Also, around midday, you can spot red kites hunting.

Pure nature, very relaxed through the forest and nicely shady in summer

Mittellandkanal trough bridge The Mittellandkanal and the Leine cross in Seelze. At this point, two unusual bridges span the river. They are so-called trough bridges that allow ships to cross large rivers such as the Leine. https://www.hannover.de/Kultur-Freizeit/Naherholung/Natur-erleben/Radfahren/Gr%C3%BCner-Ring/Wasserzeichen/Mittellandkanal-Trogbr%C3%BCcke

Nice to drive along the canal here
