Dalldorf Canal Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The view goes on both sides of the quiet and beautiful canal. If you are lucky, boats are on the way. But even without boats, the channel has something reassuring and invites you to linger.

The route offers a lot of variety. Water, ships, locks, pristine nature, great coffee (the hearty meals are also very tasty) and exciting stories about the former border between the GDR and the FRG. The starting point in Büchen is perfect because of the very good rail connection, which also makes it possible to take a bike along.
