Leine

The Leine is a river in Thuringia and Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a left tributary of the Aller and the Weser and it is 281 km long. The river's source is found near the town of Leinefelde in Thuringia. Around 40 km downriver, the river enters Lower Saxony and runs northwards. Significant towns along its course, from upstream to downstream, are Gottingen, Einbeck, Alfeld, and Gronau, before the river enters Hanover, the biggest city on its banks.

Downstream about 40 km north of Hanover, close Schwarmstedt, the river joins the Aller and achieves the North Sea by means of the Weser. Its northern lower achieves are just safe today by the littlest business bearers, however before, it filled in as a significant pre-railroad freight ship transport conduit as far upriver as Gottingen. The river is to some degree contaminated by industry, so the water isn't utilized for drinking, yet the contamination has never been sufficiently serious to keep fish from living in it.

In the same way as other western rivers since the 1960s, it has appreciated progressively cleaner waters since the usage of natural controls. Game angling is appreciated from little vessels and along the banks, in spite of the fact that yields are regularly low. At least one point of the river is somewhat occupied into a channel that runs pretty much parallel to the river.
