The Dölme is a river in the Solling .

The Dölme spring is located at around 460 m a little northeast of the Tunnekenborn strand. Then it flows to the northwest. The first part is wooded, then meadows. She is already in Neuhaus im Solling . There she turns left and changes to the other side of the B 497 . Now it flows in the Derentaler Graben, passes the Neuhaus Wildlife Park , along the Ahlewiesen and flows into the Ahle a few meters below its source .

The name was first mentioned in a document in 1585. The name probably comes from the word dole = "dig".
