Because the municipality of Ederwecht in the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg was ignored when the railways were built, a narrow-gauge railway between the port on the Küstenkanal and Bad Zwischenahn was approved by the Ederwecht municipal council in 1910 and completed in 1912.
The always weak passenger traffic ended in May 1950, and freight traffic was stopped in September 1991.
The tracks were dismantled and the beautiful narrow-gauge railway hiking trail (and of course cycle path) was built in their place.

History

Because 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.

Great cycle path from Bad Zwischenahn to the Küstenkanal. The bridge over the canal is the tour highlight.
