Under the Schülken Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Schülken Bridge on the Dortmund-Ems Canal (near Waltrop-Leveringhausen / Oberwiese)

The Schülken Bridge with the bridge number 14 is located on the operating kilometer 12.216 of the Dortmund-Ems Canal in Waltrop-Oberwiese and dates back to 1960. Siw was a half-timbered steel bridge with a span of 54.60 meters at a width of 9.00 Meters built. Via the bridge operated by the WSA Duisburg-Meiderich, the Kreisstraße 14 leads to Ickerner Strasse / Franzstrasse.

Here, a change of the water side without stairs is not possible.

Oberwieser Bridge (on the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Waltrop-Oberwiese)

It is in the direction Schleusenpark Waltrop from Dortmund for cyclists the last chance to make a turn back uphill in the direction of Dortmund without carrying the bike - the Oberwieser bridge. On both sides of the canal, you can also use the child trailer on the operating kilometer 13.335 without stairs to change over the municipal road Lohburger Straße and Am Felling or via a driveway to the waterside. Built in 1961, the bridge has a span of 49.00 meters, a width of 5.30 meters and is operated by the WSA Duisburg-Meiderich. Only a few meters away is the farm Niermann with farm shops (should be a real insider tip for the strawberry and asparagus) and Bauernstube.
