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.

Wesel-Datteln Canal

Highlight • River

The tour along the Lippe or the Wesel-Datteln Canal is highly recommended. Very good cycle paths right next to the water and interesting stops along the way!

Holtmann Tower Windmill (1863), Damm

Highlight • Monument

Very nice old windmill from 1863 near Schermbeck-Damm.

The windmill in Damm, standing on an artificial hill several meters high, is considered the most easterly windmill on the Lower Rhine. Its founding was often dated to the year 1880 under a miller Wilhelm Holtmann or, in deviation therefrom, to 1830 - this was recently corrected through targeted local history research in files of the Schermbeck community archive to a period between 1863 and 1867 (see the following section “Stone Witnesses to the Schermbeck History”).

Old railroad line

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Surprisingly, this well-developed former railway line (Haltern - Wesel - Venlo) is very easy to drive on. You drive on the natural ground almost like on asphalt.

July 11, 2022,Über den Bahndamm nach Wesel, am Kanal zurück.

Although "back on the canal" is not quite correct, because from the Hünxer lock I followed the Gahlener Straße, which has a good cycle path. The paths directly on the canal are in a terrible state on both sides - at least between Gahlen and the end of the WDK.

My conclusion is split.
From Schermbeck to Wesel you can drive well (shady) on the former railway line. At km 18 we drove on a path (rather a path) (see picture) that is not even shown on the map. Better to drive around. The section through Wesel to the Rhine ... not really sparkling. The Rhine and the Lippeauen are …

August 18, 2023,E-Bike Runde von Friedrichsfeld aus

After my workday I went shopping and then got on my bike. Actually, I wanted to use the thwart on the lip, but there is currently so much water in the lip and the current is so strong that you have no chance of getting the ferry to the shore on your own. There is a loose 2m missing. So …

February 28, 2022,Von Schermbeck zu 🏰 Gartrop, Lohberg ⚒4, zur Lippemündung an den Rhein und auf der Wesel-Haltern Bahntrasse zurück

This time I started the tour in Schermbeck. On the way to the mouth of the Lippe I wanted to see Gartrop Castle, Lohberg shaft 4 and the Krudenburg.
At Hünxe there is currently a construction site on the canal bridge and so crossing there was not possible. Then I am along the Wesel-Datteln Canal in the direction of Wesel. …

First of all: Fck the city of Wesel. I specifically waited until the Quertreiber ferry was in the water from Easter, as announced. Then I googled it, and yes, the ferry is now operating until 2025.... Then you arrive at the Lippe, and the ferry is closed 😡🤬. Of course, there must be a reason, usually it's the current, or …
