If you leave the road at the entrance to Embsen, on the right, you can see a piece of idyll at the Melbecker Bach.

The landscape of the Ilmenau lowlands is wonderfully varied. It is characterized by wide meadows and pastures, which are broken up by rows of trees, scattered swamps and marsh forests. The idyllic heath river Ilmenau is a largely natural flowing water with numerous tributaries. It is by far the largest and most important body of water in the Lüneburg Heath. The Ilmenau is formed south of Uelzen from the confluence of the heath rivers Gerdau and Stederau. It meanders more or less strongly through the varied landscape until it finally flows into the Elbe at Hoopte just outside Hamburg. On these approximately 90 kilometers it flows through places such as Bad Bevensen, Bienenbüttel, Deutsch Evern and Lüneburg. North of Lüneburg the Ilmenau merges into the Ilmenau Canal and from there can only be considered to be close to nature to a limited extent.
