course

The Hase-Ems route begins at the Hasequelle near Melle . In a northerly direction the route leads along the Hase. About one kilometer southwest of Gesmold you can reach the hare bifurcation . About two thirds of the water continues to flow over the Hase to the Ems. The remaining third is fed to the Weser via the Else and Werre . At the bifurcation there is a direct connection to the Else-Werre-Radweg , which leads east to the Weser in Bad Oeynhausen .

Over the foothills of the Teutoburg Forest you get to Osnabrück and on to Bramsche . Shortly before Bersenbrück, the rabbit feeds the Alfsee . From Bersenbrück it goes north to Quakenbrück . This is where the hare branches. The Hase Inland Delta is a relic of the last Ice Age. Now, in a north-westerly direction, along the Essen Canal , the Lager Hase and the Großer Hase , the path leads to Löningen . Germany's largest pillar-less hall church is in Löningen. The path through the Hasetal is lined with numerous fruit trees.

The route now leads west into the Emsland . In Haselünne , the largest contiguous junipers Germany, basis is for numerous distilleries. Mapping and protecting the fruit trees along the route is one of the projects of the Mundraub internet platform . In Meppen the hare flows into the Ems . Upstream it goes south towards the old fortress town of Lingen . Via Salzbergen you reach the end point of the Hase-Ems-Tour with Rheine . Osnabrück is around 55 kilometers away.
