The stations
Nature reserve
This area belongs to the system of the Alfsee. Overall, the Alfsee was intended and built as flood retention basins over 30 years ago.
This part served as a reserve basin. But the development has now been different. This area of the system has changed into a valuable wetland and nature reserve, which serves as a retreat as many animals and, above all, water birds.
The breeding bird stock is diverse and interesting. With a little luck, the rare kingfisher can be observed here.
Biological station Haseniedung / NBZ
If you want to learn more about the Alfsee and the influence of humans on nature and landscape, we recommend this detour to the Biological Station Hasenia. Environmental education on topics that directly affect this region are on the program, which is particularly aimed at schools. There are also excursions and investigations on site. The listed building was renovated from a building -in point of view. The wonderful garden that surrounds the farm is designed as a natural garden, with vegetable, herbs and flower beds, an wintering wall for insects and a bee apprenticeship.
The Alfsee
The rabbit regularly flooded the surrounding lowlands for centuries. Even small flood levels endangered more and more populated areas. For protection, the Alfsee was created as flood retention basin. Hardly anyone would have thought over 30 years ago that a popular leisure and recreation area would be created. At the same time, the Alfsee forms a water bird rest area of international importance and is the goal of many anglers. Nevertheless, flooding can still be regulated and prevented via the inflow and expiry of the Alfsee.
With 20.8 million m³ of storage space that can be used, the Alfsee is one of the largest systems of this kind in Lower Saxony.
Seater

The history of the goal
At that time, Roman troops had occupied large areas of Germania. In 9 AD in a forest area, Germanic tribes lured the Roman army under the leadership of Publius Quinctilius Varus. The Cherusker Arminius was mastermind of the conspiracy. In three days, the 17th, 18th and 19th Legion were slaughtered - more than 10,000 people were killed. The devastating defeat went into history as a "Varus battle".
Today the Varuslacht in the Osnabrücker Land is an internationally respected place of research and European cultural heritage. An extraordinary exhibition on the events of the Varus battle makes the history of this unique place experienced with modern media and presents an overview of the current state of science. The highlight of the collection is the impressive mask of a Roman riding helmet. Since 2009, visitors have received a new visitor center with regularly changing special exhibitions on the upper floor of the building. Kalkriese is one of the most important excavation sites in Europe today.
