Boker-Heide-Kanal bei Sande
===========================

- Monument

Grüner Kanal umgeben von dichter Vegetation und Bäumen, unter blauem Himmel bei Paderborn-Sande.

Eine blaue Brücke spannt sich über den stillen Boker Kanal, umgeben von kahlen Bäumen im Winter.

The Boker Canal flows for a good 30 kilometers from Schloß Neuhaus to Lippstadt. Between Schloß Neuhaus and Delbrück, a cycle path almost always runs alongside the canal.

The Boker-Heide Canal (or Boker Canal for short) is one of the most important technical cultural monuments in Westphalia. It was completed in 1853 after around five years of construction.

The canal is diverted from the Lippe west of Paderborn-Schloß Neuhaus and flows for 32 kilometers via Sande and Delbrück to Cappel near Lippstadt, where it flows back into the Lippe. With an ingenious system of side channels, locks and weirs, it was used until the 1950s to irrigate and fertilize the barren heathland soils. Today, the Boker Canal is a popular excursion destination, especially for cyclists.Read more
