Just above Gesmold, the Hase forms a bifurcation. Here, the Else branches off from the Hase, causing around 2/3 of its water to flow into the Weser river system. It is still not clear whether this branch was artificially created to supply more water to the watermills of Gesmold Castle.

A great environmental education site has been developed at the bifurcation since 2000. And there is also more information at the Terra Tip Bifurcation. Bifurcation Day takes place here every year on the first Sunday in May. Cyclists, families and nature lovers meet for an exciting festival with environmental education activities, concerts and delicacies. The extensive pastures around this striking place are grazed extensively and serve as a refuge for meadow birds such as lapwings, skylarks and also grass frogs.

You can read the history of this rare type of building and water formation on the Hase very well on these pages - the whole thing dates back to the 16th century, although it has now been beautifully designed by the local history association:

The bifurcation always pays off as a cycling destination. The home club has beautifully designed the facility. There are viewpoints, small sculptures, something about the history of the bifurcation and of course the legend. A toilet and barbecue areas are available.
