Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight • River

A scenic bike path that can also be ridden in hot weather, since a large part of the route is shaded by large trees such as chestnuts.

View of the Datteln-Hamm Canal at the Maximilianschule

Highlight • River

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.

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.

A very good bike path. Leisurely or fast, the cycle path here belongs firmly in a tour. There are small rest areas along the route.

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.
