Tips from the Community
The Innerste cycle path is particularly beautiful in the Himmelsthür / Hildesheim area, because here it leads through the open Innerste floodplain with lots of nature, meadows, and quiet river landscapes.

The Port of Hildesheim is an important trimodal logistics hub (water, rail, road) in the north of the city. It serves as an important hub for the region, especially for the agriculture of the Hildesheim Börde and the building materials industry. The port is located at the end of the approximately 15 km long Hildesheim branch canal, which branches off from the Mittelland Canal near Sehnde (Bolzum lock). The port operating company operates its own 11 km long rail network with a connection to the Hildesheim freight station.

The cycle path on the Hildesheim branch canal (SKH) is a popular, almost level route that connects the Hildesheim harbor with the Mittelland Canal near Sehnde/Bolzum. It offers a relaxed alternative to the main roads and is particularly popular with commuters and recreational cyclists. The route along the canal itself is about 15 km long (from Hildesheim harbor to the Bolzum lock). You often cycle directly along the water and can watch barges. A technical highlight is the Bolzum lock, where the branch canal flows into the Mittelland Canal.

The fish ladder at the EVI waterworks in Hildesheim is a prime example of how modern technology and nature conservation go hand in hand. It is located on the Innerste, directly at the historic waterworks on the Mühlengraben (near the Johannisbrücke/Dammstraße). For centuries, the Innerste was tamed by weirs and barrages for mills and water management. The problem: For fish, these walls were insurmountable obstacles.
