Alfsee

Highlight • Lake

The Alfsee is a 2.2 km² reservoir in the north of the Osnabrück district.
The Alfsee is the main basin and part of the Alfhausen-Rieste flood retention basin, which ensures flood protection in the Hase lowlands.

Alfsee Overflow Weir

Highlight • Structure

The overflow threshold is passable and I recommend this little detour for the great view over the lake and the sound of the water.

Hase feeder canal (Alfsee Canal)

Highlight • River

The Hase is quite cramped here, that is, there are dykes to the right and left.
And then there are different runs of hare (deep hare...)

View of the Alfsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the inlet of the Alfsee there is a dam that you can cross when the water level is normal. It is also a lovely place to linger and put your feet in the water.

After 9 hours arrival with the caravan,
we have the best weather here in Lower Saxony,
which we used for a test round in a wonderful evening atmosphere.
