The cross-border rail project “Wunderline”, which is intended to create a continuous train connection from Groningen to Bremen in 2024, brings with it further interesting opportunities for discovery. A free app called “Wunderline GO” not only offers information about 15 locations in Germany and the Netherlands, but also impresses with augmented reality (AR) and 3D animations. Particularly exciting for Delmenhorst is the Industriekul tour, which leads from the train station to the impressive Nordwolle area, one of the largest industrial monuments in Europe. The 1500 meter route is easily manageable on foot, ideal for a relaxing day of exploring. Details about the app and the individual routes are on the Wunderline website to find.
