The Aa in Reelsen: origin, course and special features
The Aa characterizes the eastern edge of the village of Reelsen. It rises on the Rehberg west of Langeland and flows south-east through the entire hiking area of Bad Driburg. Hikers cross it on various hiking trails, e.g. the Jakobspilgerweg, the Hölderlinweg, the Friedrich-Wilhlem-Weber-Weg or the Koerferweg. It was once used to power the mill wheels of the Reelser and Alhauser mills. A special feature is the unknown right tributary, a few hundred meters long, at the southernmost point of the Johannes Gelhaus path near Reelsen. As a source of lime tufa, it forms small sinter terraces with the help of mosses. It dries out completely in summer. Good to know
