Overview

About this route

2

The Datteln-Hamm Canal is an important waterway for Lünen. As a lateral canal, it connects the city of Hamm with the Dortmund-Ems Canal and is the link to the European waterway network. Because of its course along the Lippe, the Datteln Canal and its eastern extension, which is now called the Datteln-Hamm Canal, were referred to as the Lippe Side Canal at the start of construction. The shipping route was completed in 1914. Its main significance lies in the water supply of the West German canal network and the supply of several power plants. Due to its extremely low traffic volume, it is especially attractive for cyclists.
