Hiking

The partly renatured Else is a true natural paradise between Bünde and Kirchlengern. Here in Kirchlengern you can practically get up close and personal with the Else. The narrow paths follow the course of the river very directly and the wildlife can be perfectly observed from the bank. The section is particularly worthwhile during floods, when the Else becomes a raging river.
