Old Canal Bridge over the Lippe

Highlight • Bridge

The old route of the Dortmund-Ems canal between Datteln and Olfen is a structural masterpiece. Opened in 1899, the canal overpass of the Lippe is particularly striking. Highly recommended.

Very relaxed tour.

Very good cycle paths or really quiet back roads.

At the end a small stretch of (really small) main road.

Lots of nature, lots of walking along the water and there is a lot to see.

You can do it once

The actual destination was the Kökelsumer Bauerncafe, which was supposedly open again. But unfortunately, it wasn't.

Just let it roll to the Füchtelner Mühle, where I ate the best plum cake of my life, and finally stopped at Billmann for ice cream.

Nice 👌
