Great cycle path along the canal. Most of it can be ridden on both sides. I'm really impressed with the route. 👍👍👍

Dortmund-Ems Canal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The DEK is easy to drive on large parts. Unfortunately, some detours lead through deep sand and fairly busy roads without bike lanes. There are also stretches with very uneven surface. Most of the channel is passable on both sides.
