Hiking

Numerous hiking trails invite you to take a walk in the Fikensholter Forest. There is also a lot to discover, such as the Frisian monument, an old disused railway line or the Möhlenbült Lake with benches.

Hiking

The disused railway line between Ocholt and Westerstede (formerly part of the line to Bockhorn) was closed to passenger traffic on May 23, 1954, as the railway cycle route report shows. Today, the route is partially used for tourist railbike operations, which have been running since May 6, 2006, explains this railway cycle route report. A release procedure for sections of the line has been initiated, according to the city of Westerstede.
