The "Alte Bahntrasse" in and around Hohenhameln is a fascinating relic of regional industrial history, which today is mainly used as an idyllic cycling and hiking trail. It is the route of the former Hildesheim-Peiner Kreis-Eisenbahn (HPKE). With the advent of cars and trucks, the railway lost its importance. Passenger transport was discontinued in 1956 (Hohenhameln–Hämelerwald) and 1964 (Hildesheim–Hohenhameln). In 1965, the last freight train rolled after the sugar factory in Hohenhameln closed.
