The railway line from Oldenburg to Brake ran here until 1976. The 32 km long route was nicknamed the “rubber track”. Especially on the stretch from Ipwege to Ovelgönne, passengers could feel the boggy ground through the gentle movements.

It's always beautiful to drive through this gate and leave the city behind: afterward, the endless meadows open up before you...
