Invites you to linger for a while, otherwise Oldenburg is not that exciting.

Small harbor in Oldenburg city center, where many people can dock with their own boats.

Nice and quiet route, unless the train is thundering past you.

Oldenburg Port The Oldenburg Port is the junction between the Hunte and the Küstenkanal. Goods from sea and inland traffic have been loaded here since the 14th century. After the Second World War, operations increased steadily over the decades. Today, the Oldenburg Port is one of the busiest inland ports in Lower Saxony, with an average annual turnover of 1.1 million tons. An average of 1,000 inland vessels and 60 seagoing vessels dock here each year. Leisure and excursion boats have also been docking here since the 1980s.

The Oldenburg bascule railway bridge crosses the Hunte, which is 60 meters wide. It is a listed building. The bridge serves the two railway lines Oldenburg – Bremen and Oldenburg – Osnabrück. It was built between 1946 and 1954 near the Oldenburg railway water tower as a replacement for the swing bridge from 1866, which was destroyed in 1945. It is for train traffic (double-track, with overhead lines since electrification in 1982) as well as pedestrians and cyclists.

Railway bascule bridge The route to Oldenburg main station leads from the direction of Bremen and from the direction of Osnabrück over the bascule railway bridge that spans the Hunte. Cyclists and pedestrians can also cross the river here - and enjoy the view of the city landscape along the water and the harbor. The third bridge at this point The roller bascule bridge has enabled ship traffic to the city port since 1954, as its flaps open up to 20 times a day - by the way, with a hydraulic drive, which replaced the old electric motors in 2002. When it was completed after around eight years of construction, it was the largest bascule railway bridge in Europe. It replaced the rigid bridge that had made it possible to temporarily cross the Hunte for around ten years after the Second World War, after the old swing bridge from 1866 was destroyed at the end of the war.

An impressive experience when you cycle through the gate into the courtyard.

This is a great and interesting architectural monument
