Brückenschlag Bridge over the Lippe and Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight • Bridge

Since May 2016, the new bridges have been cleared via the Lippe and Datteln-Hamm Canal for cycling and pedestrian traffic. The two parts are each 78 m long and 125 t heavy and yet look very elegant.

The Datteln-Hamm Canal in Hamm is very nice to cycle and leads from a short distance from the Uentrop power plant to Datteln. It is around 50 km long and is also in the immediate vicinity of the train station.

Beautiful tour along the Datteln-Hamm Canal, through the Lippe meadows and with the Lupia ferry across the Lippe to Schloss Oberwerries. Here a short coffee break in the Schloss-Café and then continue towards Hamm Airport. Along the canal and the Lippe, it's a relaxed ride home, accompanied by flora and fauna. Great nature, quiet tour with the highlight being the …

May 23, 2022,SR-tour am 23.5.22 Turm Lippeaue-Werries-Fähre Lupia-Hamm- Rünthe

Nice tour to the Lupia ferry that I did once years ago. This time I was also able to be on the photo because suddenly 2 women and 2 men wanted to use the ferry. This gave me a lot of help pulling the hand-operated (with chains) ferry over the Lippe. As expected, the return trip was not as pleasant.
