At this point, you have a good view of the runway of the Klausheide airfield. Both gliders and motorized light aircraft take off and land here. So there is plenty to watch during an extended break. The shelter is slightly elevated and can be reached via a small path (see photos).

After the station opened in 1897, the narrow-gauge tracks of a horse-drawn railway led from Alexishütte (founded 1854) near Wietmarschen to Elbergen. The hut processed bog iron ore, which was mined on site. The smelting operation was marked by several crises, e.g., in 1863, operations were halted for several years. Coke and lime for the furnace had to be transported by horse and cart, and the transport of iron to the railway loading station in Lingen, 16 km away, cost a lot of money. Thus, a horse-drawn railway was established from Alexishütte to the railway line in Elbergen in 1873. Several horses pulled the freight wagons along the tracks. As early as 1874, Alexishütte had to close due to uneconomical operation. The operating site was leveled, and today it is a residential area. The railway tracks were dismantled. Today, nothing remains of the route.
