The Seeve - habitat, recreation area and nature experience

Der Eisvogel

The Seeve rises between Handeloh and Undeloh and, after 40 kilometres of passing through Geest, flows into the Elbe at Over.

In Jesteburg you can follow the course of the Seeve a little and have a good view of the habitat of this heathland stream. With luck, you can hear the kingfisher's call or see its exotic blue plumage.

With an average temperature of 6-8°C, the Seeve is considered the coldest river in northern Germany. Its clear, oxygen-rich and cool water provides a habitat for many species of fish such as grayling, river trout and sea trout.

The Seeve also invites you to relax. Take the time to linger and enjoy.
