Not just by bike, but for almost every type of sporting locomotion, the route is one of two great options to get from Burgdorf to Steinwedel or vice versa without contact with cars. It is in any case also worth paying attention to the nature next to the well-asphalted path.

The summit cross on the Kronsberg marks Hanover's highest point – 118 meters above sea level. It stands on an artificially raised observation hill on the southeastern outskirts of the city, near the Expo site. From here, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the city, the Deister Mountains, and the surrounding countryside.

The lock compensates for the height difference of around 8 meters between the Mittelland Canal and the higher Hildesheim branch canal. The original lock was built in 1926 and 1927. Due to the structural condition, the new lock was built between 2007 and 2012 as part of the expansion of the branch canal. The new lock chamber is longer (139 m instead of 82 m), but only slightly wider (12.5 m instead of 12.0 m). The old lock was preserved as a technical monument.
