アルフゼーのおすすめランニングルート

A popular refuge for waterfowl of all kinds. Since the area is also quite wooded, it's not possible to see deep into the reserve basin from every corner. Depending on the wildlife activity, the path along the dike can be quite lengthy.

great to look at and watch the water...

A small shelter or birdwatching hut offers a good sheltered spot for a break. There are information boards, and the view extends over the water.

The 330 m long overflow sill, the inlet of the Alfsee, was built in 1974 with a 10 hectare settling basin. This is where sand and alluvial particles that would worsen the water quality of the lake are supposed to settle. The outlet structure was also built in 1974.

The feeder to the Alfsee near Bramsche in the Osnabrück district of Lower Saxony is located between meadows and fields. It is a stretch of river, the section of which is open to fishing runs from the lock at Sögeln to the Dreihorst bridge. The towns of Hesepe, Rieste and Alfhausen are in the immediate vicinity. The river meanders leisurely through fields and meadows through the open landscape. It is about 15 to 20 meters wide. Apart from a few tourists who go for a walk here, the feeder is very quiet and is surrounded by the dam, on which sheep often graze. The feeder is a canal. The Alfsee is in the immediate vicinity and has numerous species of fish and water birds. The canal banks are lined with reeds and water lilies. The feeder is artificially created and comes from the Hase, a small river near the Alfsee. Access to the feeder is largely free and allows for problem-free fishing. The canal is about 2.5 meters deep.

The Hase flows through small gates into the Alfsee.

The water of the Hase flows through the Alfsee.

I didn't realize that the Alfsee is not a natural lake. It is ultimately just a very large rainwater retention basin.
