リーステでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A lovely, easy hike. The trail leads around the Alfsee lake. We also took a short detour through the bird sanctuary. In rainy weather, you should definitely bring rain gear, as there is no shelter along the way.

It's a nice, quiet place to walk around, especially in the morning.

Beautiful circular hiking trail

The Alfsee was artificially created to regulate the water level of the Hase River and to facilitate agriculture in the Hase floodplains. This recreational lake is dammed by this dam. From here, you have a fantastic view of the large reservoir. Walking across the dam is definitely worth it.

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.

very well located, directly on the lake

Alfsee, located southeast of Alfhausen, a few hundred meters east of the B 68, can be reached from this federal highway and from the Neuenkirchen-Vörden junction of the A 1, which runs just to the east. Rieste train station, served hourly from Bremen (via Delmenhorst) and Osnabrück, is only about 1,800 meters from Alfsee.

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.
