Kleinbahn Trail

South of the Zwischenahner Meers, starting near the station, the Kleinbahn hiking trail starts from Omorikaweg on a direct route towards the coastal canal and finally crosses it over the Kleinbahn bridge.
On the way, you will roam Edewecht and drive directly past a "Forgotten Places" monument, the Edewechter Helgen.
Although the route is completely paved and paved, but forms a great spoke to the buck on the fastest way to the north or south to other highlights.

HistoryBecause the municipality of Edewecht in the then Grand Duchy of Oldenburg had not been connected to the rail network when the railways were built until the beginning of the twentieth century, the local council sought to establish its own connection to the Oldenburg-Leer main line in Zwischenahn. On January 8, 1910, the Oldenburg State Ministry approved the construction.The municipality transferred construction and operation to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg State Railway. The construction costs were estimated at 429,000 marks. The Grand Duchy provided a subsidy of 130,000 marks, and the municipality had to finance the rest itself. On December 15, 1912, operations began on the seven-kilometer-long, standard-gauge, single-track line. It was primarily intended to be used for the transport of peat, which was also used as fuel for locomotives at the time, and for the transport of livestock.
