The Ocean Bridge in Harpstedt, Lower Saxony, leads to Little America. The 99-year-old connection originated as a guesthouse, and is now popular with hikers and cyclists. Of course, this doesn't mean the United States, and "ocean" doesn't mean the Atlantic. Rather, this historic structure is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge located in the Wildeshausen Geest region of Lower Saxony. The "Ocean Bridge" is the only way to cross the Delmetal River between the Harpstedt Forest and the Harpstedt district of Little America. Or, as the nature park's website puts it: "The wooden bridge connects the village of Little America with the rest of the world."

Magnificent Hache Valley. Perfect for cycling

The circular hiking trail "Around the Siebenhäuser" from the "Wilde Geest on Foot" hiking series also passes through here. All information about the hiking trail can be found at the following link: https://www.wildegeest.de/wandern/20-wandertipps/um-die-siebenhaeuser/index.html (as of March 28, 2025).

Nice route, but the second part is mainly along field paths. Since we prefer forest paths, I would prefer to take my own route through the forest next time.

The entire forest area

Were there wolves here before?

rarely drove such a varied route .. nature reserves on the Hache alternating with geest landscape, nice places

The bridge is super nice, but you should rather push over it because it's very narrow.
