    Dam and crossing of the Alfsee.
    Translated by
    The Alfsee is a 2.2 km² reservoir in the northern part of the Osnabrück district in Lower Saxony (Germany).

    The Alfsee is the main reservoir of the Alfhausen-Rieste flood retention basin, which ensures flood protection in the Hase lowlands and serves as a local recreation area. It is operated by the Lower Saxony State Office for Water Management, Coastal Protection and Nature Conservation. The entire Alfhausen-Rieste flood retention basin is designated a nature reserve.
