The entire Ilmenau is due to their great importance for the flora and fauna designated as FFH area and over large parts as a nature reserve. Among the Elbe tributaries it is considered the most important representative of the river type "Heidebach". As a gravel-flowing stream of the lowlands, there are many structures in the Ilmenau that provide a habitat for many animals and plants. These include lush fish fauna with endangered species such as grayling, minnow, bitterling and bullhead, as well as salmon and sea trout migratory fish. In addition, 68 single-day, stone and caddis flies were detected, of which 25 alone are on the "Red List". Other protected species are the Green Maiden, the Otter and the Brook or Small River Mussel.

In the south of Lüneburg, in the Tiergarten area, on the right "steep bank" with a view over the floodplains you will find a large boulder with the inscription: "Loreley". Heinrich Heine is said to have written his "Loreley" here in 1823 with a view of the Ilmenau.
