The rails belong to the remnants of the former potash railway, which formed a triangle from the former Niedersachsen-Riedel mine near Hänigsen [www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliwerk_Niedersachsen-Riedel] via the heap at the former Niedersachsen shaft in Wathlingen [www.kpluss.com/de-de/ueber-ks/standorte/europa/wathlingen/#aktuelles] and the decommissioned Elwerath 29 oil drilling rig near Nienhagen (www.ExxonMobil - corporate.exxonmobil.de/neuigkeiten/newsroom/presseinformationen/2022/elwerath-29: www.BEB Erdgas und Erdöl GmbH & Co. KG - beb.de/About/DE_about.html) to Ehlershausen station, where there was a connection to the DB rail network. Although, especially on the section between Elwerath and Ehlershausen, no train has rolled for decades, this line was part of the official railway register for a very long time, which led, for example, during the construction of the new B3 at the height of Ehlershausen, to railway tracks sunk in asphalt being visible and audible when driving over them for many years. [www.bahnsteiner.de/bergbau] The fact that this is no longer the case after the application of a new asphalt layer, and that the massively fastened guardrails also make sense, is because the railway lines have now also been removed from the route register...

View of birds of prey and waterfowl in a great landscape with two ponds and associated flora and fauna. Even after the platform was freshly rebuilt last year after a fire, there are still no seating facilities, which are not really needed with the great view on two levels...

In principle, the path consists of wonderful, quite new asphalt. However, on some stretches, the large trees along the path have already caused considerable bumps and hollows in places. It's a good thing that the bike I use as a gravel bike has properly thick tires... 😉

What a pity, it could have been used for the transport of the covering of the potash dump in Wathlingen...
