Old Canal Lock Datteln–Olfen

Highlight • Monument

I cycle along the "Alte Fahrt" in a very idyllic way. Sometimes a bit bumpy, but not very busy and very close to nature.

Dattelner Lake

Highlight • River

2 canals meet... This is what happens here, and it's nice to look at, but it's particularly interesting because of the nearby locks

Datteln Lock

Highlight • Structure

The Schachtschleuse was built in 1928 and put into operation in 1931 - a true piece of industrial culture.

It is very easy to drive on both sides of the river and with the ship and boat traffic there is always something interesting to see along the way.
