Fösse is a small river of Lower Saxony, Germany. It flows into the Leine west of Hanover.

Environment

[edit]

Much of the stream is channeled in the city of Hanover, where the water flows deeper in places and is piped and hidden in the green. A small water treading area has been integrated into the stream here since May 2014.[1]
