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."

Great destination for bird watching in the natural environment.

Unfortunately, the observation tower was demolished about 2 weeks ago

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

With flooded meadows nature is very interesting there... felt a bit like spring today.

A little over two meters high you have a great view over the Ochtum lowland. There are almost always many birds to see. Unfortunately no bench or rubbish bin.

The ocean bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge located north of Harpstedt in the Wildeshauser Geest in Lower Saxony. It is the only crossing over the swampy Delmetal between the district of Klein Amerika and the Harpstedter Forest. The forerunner of the bridge was a simple footbridge, which was built at this point in 1925 by Heinrich Plate, innkeeper of the former "Amerika" inn. (Wikipedia) It is 175m long.

This small lake, surrounded by dense bushes, is a paradise for birds. Here ducks, geese and lots of birds have their breeding grounds and a safe place to stay.
