Hase 2153295 224345230 2008-07-08T13:09:13Z Olessi 220894 cat, remove cruft {{otheruses}} The '''Hase''' is a 193 km long [[river]] in [[Lower Saxony]], [[Germany]]. It is a right tributary of the [[Ems (river)|Ems]], but part of its flow goes to the [[Else]], that is part of the [[Weser]] basin. Its source is in the [[Teutoburg Forest]], south-east of [[Osnabrück]], on the north slope of the 307 m high Hankenüll hill. ==Weser-Ems Watershed== After approx. 15 km, near [[Gesmold]] (about 6km west from [[Melle, Germany|Melle]]), the Hase encounters an anomaly of terrain and bifurcates such that each branch flows in a different drainage system: * one third of its waters flow along the south side of the [[Wiehengebirge]] hills eastward from Gesmold into the Else, which begins there, and flows into the [[Werre]] at [[Kirchlengem]] (north of [[Herford]]). The Werre is a tributary of the [[Weser]]. * two thirds of its waters (the ''Hase proper'') flow northwest from Gesmold toward Osnabrück, past the towns listed below, and toward [[Meppen (Germany)|Meppen]], where the Ems receives its flow. ==Towns on the Hase== *[[Melle, Germany|Melle]] *[[Osnabrück]] *[[Bramsche]] - to the south of this city the Hase crosses the [[Mittellandkanal]] *[[Neuenkirchen-Vörden]] *[[Bersenbrück]] *[[Badbergen]] *[[Quakenbrück]] - in the southeast the Hase divides into two branches: the Big Hase (passing the town in the northeast) and the Little Hase (which itself is divided into several branches within the town, one of which leaves the town northwards to the Big Hase) (Binnendelta) *[[Menslage]] - here the Hase is channeled into the Little Hase *[[Löningen]] - here it flows into a somewhat northerly branch: the Big Hase *[[Herzlake]] - here the two branches flow together again *[[Haselünne]] *[[Meppen (Germany)|Meppen]] [[Category:Rivers of Germany]] [[Category:Geography of Lower Saxony]] [[de:Hase (Fluss)]] [[es:Río Hase]] [[eo:Hase]] [[nl:Hase]] [[nn:Hase]]
