    The one-way route around the lake is approximately 7 kilometers. There is a paved path at the top of the dike from which you can see the lake the whole time.

      The Alfsee is located in the northern Bramgau region of the Osnabrück region. It lies approximately 25 km north of Osnabrück and 8 km north of Bramsche, southeast of the Ankumer Höhe. Approximately 95 percent of its area belongs to the western municipality of Alfhausen, after which the reservoir is named. The remainder, a bay in the eastern part of the lake, belongs to the eastern municipality of Rieste.
