I always enjoy boating on the canal. Especially in the evenings when the weather is nice! It's quiet and not too crowded!

The Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany and plays a central role in the European inland navigation network. It runs from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Hörstel (North Rhine-Westphalia) to the Elbe River near Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt) and stretches for approximately 325 kilometers. The canal is one of the most important east-west connections for inland navigation in Germany. It links numerous rivers and canals, including the Rhine, the Weser, the Elbe, and, via further connections, the Oder. This allows for the transport of goods across northern Germany without ships being dependent on the fluctuating water levels of natural rivers. Bulk goods such as coal, ore, building materials, grain, and containers are primarily transported via the Mittelland Canal. It thus contributes significantly to relieving road and rail traffic and is a major factor for the economy and logistics in Germany.

A beautiful side street in Beckedorf. Towards Bad Nenndorf, you reach a dirt road that runs parallel to the B65, but is much more pleasant to ride.
