The Ems-Hase-Hunte-Else route (EHHE) is a trail of superlatives: It passes through 2 federal states and 5 districts, past 37 huts, 6 covered benches, 11 observation towers/platforms, 4 lakes, 5 nature reserves, and 2 castles. It ascends and descends about 1000 meters in elevation. The sources of the Hase and Hunte rivers lie directly on the route. There are encounters with wedding avenues, sensory stations, and robber stories. Countless information boards about nature and culture line the path. In its first section, it runs from south to north, then from east to west. The hiking trail crosses both the Teutoburg Forest and the ridge of the Wiehen Hills. Further "mountain stages" lead over the Melle Hills, the Stemwede Hill, the Damme Hills, the Ankum Heights, and the Lingen Heights. Besides that, there are also long stretches without gradients. Towns directly traversed are: Dissen, Melle, Bad Essen, Haldem, Lemförde, Neuenkirchen, Alfhausen, Fürstenau, and Lingen. The Ems-Hase-Hunte-Else route is one of the longest trails maintained by the Wiehen Hills Association Weser-Ems, with a length of 170 km. It is incredibly varied and connects many sights.
