The Kasparbahn was a railway line between Burgdorf and Hänigsen. It was closed on July 31, 1961. A few tracks still remain.

Gravel riding
The path between the outdoor pool and the railway line has now been channeled with fences; previously, it was easier to reach the abandoned tracks to inspect them. The local people called the railway line 'Kasparbahn', but it was actually called 'Burgdorfer Kreisbahnen' and is a relic from the times of potash mining around Burgdorf.
