Hasselbacher Trail

It's super cool to walk so close to the water. If this path is too difficult for you, you can stay on the paved path.

It goes down steeply, the crossing of the Hasselbachs is done over hill and dale, then it goes up again steeply.

The Hasselbach is not difficult to cross. The Hasselbach rises on the western edge of Hiddesen in the Donoperteich-Hiddeser Bent nature reserve at the foot of the 340 m high Kahler Ehberg as a moor brook and initially flows in a westerly direction parallel to the L 938. After about 1 km the stream flows through the first reservoir, the crab pond. As it continues, the stream gradually turns north. After a further 100 meters, the stream is dammed a second time and feeds the Donoperteich. After flowing through the pond, the Hasselbach continues curvy in its deeply incised creek bed to the north, parallel to the L 944 and is dammed a third time to the Hasselbach reservoir. For the last 3.5 km of its course, the stream continues to flow in a northerly direction around the Detmold district of Pivitsheide V. H. - northeast of the Meschesee - at an altitude of approx. 112 m above sea level. NN to flow into the Werre.
