The Mittelland Canal (MLK) is a federal waterway[2] and, at 325.3 kilometers, the longest artificial waterway in Germany. Including side and connecting canals, the length is 392 km. It connects the Dortmund-Ems Canal with the Weser, the 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 the Wesel-Datteln Canal. In the east, the Elbe-Havel Canal, the Untere Havel-Wasserstraße, and the Havel-Oder-Wasserstraße connect the Mittelland Canal with the Oder. In a European dimension, it enables a connection between the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and Switzerland on the one hand, and Poland and the Czech Republic on the other. The canal is also known by the names Ems-Weser-Kanal, Weser-Ems-Kanal, Weser-Elbe-Kanal, Rhein-Elbe-Kanal, Elbe-Weser-Ems-Kanal, or Ems-Weser-Elbe-Kanal. These are old or regional designations that are now rarely used.

This is actually the Damme–Holdorf railway cycle path. But it's also very suitable for running.
