At the bifurcation, the Else separates from the Hare.
The Hase then continues towards Osnabrück and flows into the Ems. The Else flows into the Werre near Kirchlengern, which later flows into the Weser. Both then flow into the North Sea.
Since 2000, the bifurcation has been an environmental education centre where hands-on stations invite visitors to marvel. A water treading pool refreshes you after the tour and you can refresh yourself at the barbecue area (by reservation).
