An inconspicuous stream that flows into the Fürwigge reservoir and gives it its name.

The Hülsebach stream is primarily of local, ecological, and hydrological importance. It drains a small, wooded area near the villages of Buschhöh and Neuemühle and feeds its water into the local river system, which ultimately flows into the Fürwigge and Verse reservoirs.

At Buschhöh you can admire Scottish Highland cattle, including breeding bulls. It's the same breeding bull that can also be seen in Oberholte.
