With a length of approx. 325 km (392 km including branch and connecting canals), the Mittelland Canal 🚢 is the longest artificial federal waterway. It branches off the Dortmund-Ems Canal in the "Wet Triangle" near Bergeshövede (North Rhine-Westphalia) and merges into the Elbe-Havel Canal east of Hohenwarthe (Saxony-Anhalt).

There is no official cycle path on the Mittelland Canal. However, the operating routes along the canal are mostly open to 🚶🏻 and 🚴🏻 at your own risk. These paths are quite well developed, sometimes with compacted gravel, paved or even asphalted.

Depending on where you are, you can make a short detour to the left ⬅️ or right ➡️ to find nice rest areas 🛖 and cozy places to stop for refreshments 🍔🍟🍻.

Kalkrieser Harbor on the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • River

Located directly on the Mittelland Canal. Either south to the Varus battle or beautiful north through the cultural landscape with some beautiful historical goods.

It's almost "pure nature" here, right on the canal. Greenery and quite a few waterfowl.
