background
Dinklage is located in the North German Plain in the so-called Dinklager Basin, a large lowland area about 100 km south of the North Sea coast, about 60 km east of the Dutch border and almost halfway between Bremen and Osnabrück. To the east and north-east there are larger moor areas, in the north-west the Cloppenburger Geest borders, in the south-east the Dammer Mountains border, in the west the Hasetal and further west and south-west the Ankumer Höhe.
The landscape is diverse and is loosened up by numerous rows of trees and hedgerows.
