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.
