Whether by ferry or sailboat, island hopping in the North Sea promises relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable experiences in nature.

The “bike on rails” offers a unique way to enjoy the diverse park landscape of Ammerland. Twelve bicycle railcars (4 people) and three club railcars (16 people) have been chugging back and forth on the disused track between Westerstede and the Ocholt district since 2006—from April 1 to October 15. Fun for four: Two people pedal vigorously while two sit on the bench and enjoy a leisurely ride through the beautiful natural idyll of Ammerland. There are a few rules for the rail bike ride, since everything here runs on a single track.  

There are three stops along the seven-kilometer route where you can take a break. At the end of the track, simply turn the handcars around and you’re off back to the starting point. The handcar station is located on the grounds of the G. D. Boehlje Nursery in Westerstede, the oldest nursery in the Ammerland region with a tradition dating back over 160 years.
