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."

The grounds of the Amtshof, bordered by an extensive moat, boast a long and interesting history: Originally, a moated castle stood here. After a devastating fire around 1740, it was demolished, and the inner system of ramparts and ditches was leveled. Only the surrounding moat, which widened to form a pond in the west and southwest, survived. Only a short time later, between 1741 and 1744, the present Amtshof was built on this site. Based on the castle's foundations, partly made of bricks and partly of boulders, a large, angled, two-story half-timbered building with a distinctive ridge turret was constructed. The building was extensively restored in 1980/81. A half-timbered west wing was added, so that the Harpstedt Amtshof now appears to the viewer as a three-wing complex.

Assisted living on a larger scale, complementing the restaurant offerings, new hotel rooms, a restaurant, and the discontinuation of the banquet hall: This is what the future of the long-closed "Rogge Dünsen" inn could look like.

We have taken a break at the hut several times.

Two fallen beech trees lie as dead wood in the forest. The children of the forest kindergarten are allowed to climb around on them.
