Klein Scharrel: Geest Island and Raised Bog

Klein Scharrel combines a distinctive moorland landscape with a history dating back to 1794. Hof Kahle landscape garden, the war memorial, and two bus routes offer further specific perspectives on the place during your stay.

Geest Island and Local History

The term Geest island is illustrated by the location: Klein Scharrel lies on Scharrelsberg, with raised bog all around. The settlement’s history also has a clear starting point in time. It dates back to the settlement of the first farmer in 1794. Landscape and history thus offer two distinct ways to understand the place: the raised bog describes its distinctive location, while 1794 marks the beginning of settlement. If you want to know what has shaped Klein Scharrel, you can consider both together—the shape of the surrounding landscape and the clearly identified start of the settlement.

Hof Kahle in the Moorland Landscape

Hof Kahle landscape garden in Klein Scharrel is nestled in the moorland of southern Ammerland. With a circular walking path, seating, and a boules court, the garden combines exercise, relaxation, and play. If, when choosing your excursions, you would like to include a specific garden as well as the moorland scenery, Hof Kahle offers a focus of its own. The garden can therefore be incorporated into your plans differently from the raised bog: it brings together several specific design features in one named place, while the bog forms the broader landscape setting.

Connections and Local Landmarks

Bus route 374 connects Klein Scharrel with Edewecht, Dänikhorst, and Rostrup. Route 384 connects Edewecht, Jeddeloh, Klein Scharrel, and Friedrichsfehn. Edewecht is served by both routes, while the other places mentioned differ. This comparison helps you distinguish between the routes based on the destinations you would like to include in your plans. Check the timetable for the relevant route before making a specific journey. This way, you can take the places mentioned and the suitable connection into account when planning your trip.

Remembrance and Village Development

The Klein Scharrel war memorial stands at the corner of Dorfstraße and Scharreler Damm. A wreath-laying ceremony was held there on November 16, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. The place and exact time firmly anchor the commemorative event in local history. In March, a new rest shelter was installed on Scharrelsberg as part of the Edewecht East village development project; it is one of nine rest shelters in the municipality. Together, a precisely dated commemorative occasion and a village development project provide two distinct points of reference in the area.

Choose Accommodation to Suit Your Plans

The two routes each connect Klein Scharrel with different places. For your trip, it therefore matters which route suits your plans. Check the appropriate route and its timetable before relying on it for your plans. This way, you can choose where to stay based on what you would like to experience in Klein Scharrel or reach from there.
