The route along the DEK is really good to cycle on. A few years ago, the original route along the Dortmund Ems Canal in the Lingen area was still on gravel roads that were called cycle paths. Fortunately, those days are over and people have learned to create new paths for cyclists 🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♂️ that are as good as those for car drivers. But it's worth leaving the canal every now and then.

Cycle route Dortmund-Ems Canal from Dortmund to the north Cyclists have access to a great wealth of historical, technical and cultural sights. Idyllic villages and pulsating towns lie along the route, some of which follow the old towpaths directly along the canal, some of which follow the course of the canal a little off the water.

A beautiful recreation area with beach and palm trees. Something like that can also be made from a cooling water reservoir for a nuclear power plant.

As early as 1824-1828, the Ems-Hase Canal/Haneken Canal was built from Hanekenfuhr south of Lingen to the Hase in Meppen as a 25 km long side canal of the Ems. When the Dortmund-Ems Canal was built, it was expanded and almost entirely incorporated into the Dortmund-Ems Canal.

An average of 22 ships pass through the Meppen lock at kilometer 164 of the Dortmund-Ems Canal every day. You overcome a height difference of 7.50 meters. The larger lock chamber currently in operation has a usable length of 165 meters; the water requirement is 14,800 m³ per lock. – In order to reduce water consumption, a water reservoir at the lock in the valley absorbs half of the lock water so that it can be released again to fill the chamber at the subsequent lock on the mountain. The Meppen lock was built in the 1950s and has been repeatedly modernized since then. Source: www.emsland.com

The Geeste reservoir was built in the 1980s and has a capacity of around 23.4 million cubic meters of water. It is used from the Dortmund-Ems Canal at times when there is sufficient water flow in the Ems filled with a pump. At times of low water, up to 18 million cubic meters of water can then be returned via the canal to the Ems from the basin in the same way. Without further interference with nature, the Dortmund-Ems Canal serves as a long-distance water pipeline between the reservoir and the Ems. The total capacity of the basin is designed in such a way that the Lingen nuclear power plant can continue to operate even if the drought lasts for months without affecting the ecology of the Ems. The lake is about 2 km long and about 1.3 km wide at its widest point. The path on the crest of the dam is about 5.8 km long. The Geeste reservoir serves as a local recreation area for the region and offers a wide range of opportunities for walkers, cyclists, swimmers, sailors and divers.
