View from Leine Bridge

Bridge over the line at Bothmer (Lk Heidekreis)

Very nice ... 😎

The Leine meanders through the country for around 280 kilometers from its source to where it flows into the Aller. The longest part of its course, almost 240 kilometers, is in Lower Saxony. The source of the river is near Leinefelde in Thuringia at an altitude of 400 meters. The confluence with the Aller is near Gilten in Heidekreis. Until then, the water flows down a total of 375 meters from the source.In Lower Saxony, the Leine gives the name to the Aller-Leine-Tal holiday region and the Leinebergland. The Leinebergland community of the same name (Gronau and surrounding towns) also goes back to the name of the body of water. Historically, the name Leinegau is also linked to the river.
