Buffer Stop of the Former Narrow-Gauge Railway

With a scale, they weighed things🫣😁😎

The peat railways, also known as field railways, used special wagons designed for transporting peat. These wagons were often long and had a large wheelbase to ensure a high load-bearing capacity. The car bodies could be removable and were lifted from the chassis using chain lugs and then transferred, for example, with a crane.

Double-flanged wheels were common because the tracks in the bog often couldn't be laid securely, and the wheels were designed to prevent derailment.

Kleinbahn Trail Edewecht

Highlight • Trail

Because the municipality of Edewecht in what was then the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg was not connected to the rail network when the railways were built until the beginning of the twentieth century, the municipal council tried to establish its own connection to the Oldenburg–Leer main railway in Zwischenahn. On January 8, 1910, the Oldenburg State Ministry approved the construction.

Construction and operation were transferred by the municipality to the Grand Ducal Oldenburg State Railway. The construction costs were estimated at 429,000 marks. The Grand Duchy gave a subsidy of 130,000 marks; the community had to finance the rest itself. On December 15, 1912, operations opened on the standard-gauge, single-track railway, which was seven kilometers long. It was primarily intended to transport peat, which was also used as fuel for locomotives at the time, and to transport livestock.

The bridge has been completely renewed since June 2022 and is now connected to the road south of the Coastal Canal via a convenient ramp that is not too steep.

Whether you're hungry for exercise, interested in culture or looking for relaxation, whether you're on an extended holiday or a short trip, whether you're a couple or with children: the Thülsfeld Dam makes every form of travel possible. Numerous cycling and hiking trails, idyllic fishing areas, climbing forests and golf parks enable exercise in harmony with nature. Visitors can find action in the Thüle animal and leisure park and in the Molli-Bär play park, while past life environments can be found in the Cloppenburg museum village. With their hospitality and quality of service, the hosts around the dam ensure that the foreign land becomes a short or long-term home for visitors.

The Thülsfelder Talsperre is a reservoir between Cloppenburg and Friesoythe and was built in the 20s of the last century. The area is under nature protection. The reservoir does not look like an artificial lake, with its small islets and vegetation on the banks, it looks like a natural lake. - There is a beautiful view of the lake from the viewing platform and from the hotel-restaurant "Seeblick", just before the outlet structure. We took a short coffee break in the café and enjoyed the peace and quiet and the view.

Edewechter Kleinbahn Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The route, which is just over 10 km long, is completely asphalted and you often pass houses with great gardens right on the route! The Edewechter Kleinbahn cycle route runs from the coastal canal, at the Edewechterdamm, to Bad Zwischenahn away from the traffic routes.
