Söse


Söse is a river of Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a right tributary of the river Rhume and long.

Geography

The Söse rises on the plateau of Auf dem Acker in the district of Göttingen in the southwestern part of the Harz Mountains in Germany. From there it flows initially westwards; and is then impounded at a pre-dam and then by the Söse Dam between the Osterode village of Riefensbeek and the town of Osterode itself. In Osterode the river bends northwest, only to swing westwards near Badenhausen and then southwards near Eisdorf just a few kilometres west of the Harz. It flows in that direction through Osterode-Dorste before entering the westward-flowing Rhume between the villages of and, both part of the borough of Katlenburg-Lindau in the district of Northeim.

Tributaries

At the confluence of the Great Söse and the Great Morgenbrod is the Morgenbrodt Hut. This spot is no. 148 in the system of checkpoints in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network. The Morgenbrodt Hut was demolished in 2013 by the National Park Authority as it was falling down and it is not intended to be replaced.
