An important waypoint along the river's course is the town of
Cloppenburg2. Historically, the river's flow here was sufficiently robust to power water mills, a testament to its vitality and contribution to early industrial activities in the region. These water mills were crucial for the development

The river continues its journey into a dam at Thülsfelde, known as Thülsfelder
Talsperre3. This dam, constructed in the 1920s, serves multiple purposes, including flood control, power generation, and recreation, further highlighting the river's role in the region's infrastructure.
374:
From Thülsfelde, the Soeste meanders through the towns of
Friesoythe and Barßel, providing scenic views and contributing to the local ecosystems along its path4. Finally, west of Barßel, the Soeste converges with the Jümme River, which eventually drains into the Ems5.
354:
The Soeste River, located in the
Cloppenburg district of Lower Saxony, Germany, is a significant tributary of the Ems River. It has a crucial role in shaping the landscape of the region and has influenced local industries and settlements throughout its history.
359:
The Soeste originates from two humble source brooks in
Hesselnfeld and Egterholz, both tiny settlements within the Emstek municipality1. From there, it charts a course northwest, cutting through the picturesque landscapes of Lower Saxony.
379:
Overall, the Soeste River's journey from its humble beginnings to its ultimate confluence with the Jümme serves as an illustrative narrative of the natural, industrial, and cultural landscapes of Lower Saxony.
