Mittellandkanal in the Hanover region. Nice route along the canal, unfortunately the view is somewhat restricted by the grass.

The Mittelland Canal: The Mittelland Canal (MLK) is a federal waterway and, at 325.3 kilometers long, the longest artificial waterway in Germany. Including branch and connecting canals, the length is 392 km. It connects the Dortmund-Ems Canal with the Weser, Elbe and the Elbe-Havel Canal. In a broader sense, it is part of a connection between the Rhine and the Oder. In the west, the connection to the Rhine is established via the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the Rhine-Herne Canal or Wesel-Datteln Canal. In the east, the Elbe-Havel Canal, the Lower Havel Waterway and the Havel-Oder Waterway connect the Mittelland Canal with the Oder.

The church is called St. Dionysius. The Evangelical-Lutheran Church of St. Dionysius, listed as a historical monument and named after Dionysius of Paris, is located in Lindhorst, a municipality in the district of Schaumburg in Lower Saxony. The parish of Lindhorst belongs to the east district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Schaumburg-Lippe. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Dionysius_(Lindhorst) p.s. Komoot does not include the ")" in the link, it still has to be inserted manually.
