Cycle Path Along the Wesel-Datteln Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

The Wesel-Datteln Canal (WDK, water body number: 75101) is a federal waterway in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and, after the Rhine, the busiest waterway in Germany. The shipping canal runs through the northern Ruhr area and connects the Rhine River near Wesel with the Dortmund-Ems Canal at the Datteln waterway junction. The 60 km long canal runs parallel to the south of the Lippe in its immediate vicinity.

Krudenburg, a towpath boatmen's village

Highlight • Settlement

Krudenburg near Drevenack is an old village that seems a little out of date.
The Krudenburg harbor was once an important port of call for Lippe barge drivers. The historic harbor area with its cobblestone promenade and the adjacent historic buildings still gives the place a special charm and reminds us of times gone by.

July 9, 2021,Römer-Lippe-Route (Etappe 6: von Hervest nach Wesel)

Today's stage on the Römer-Lippe-Route starts at 9:50 a.m. It initially goes along the Lippe and later for many sections of the route along the Wesel-Datteln Canal. Very very nice. The weather is ideal for cycling. A real highlight with athletic training is the crossing of the Lippe with the muscle-powered Lippe ferry Baldur. We reach Wesel around 1:30 p.m. …
