A lovely path along the stream. Google says this is the 'Steinbach' - Komoot says this is the 'Seppenser Bach'.

The beautiful old Heath Church was first mentioned in a document in 1244. The next document, from 1369, shows that there was a pastor in Undeloh, and the church thus had full parish rights. The church became the center of a parish comprising eight villages: Ollsen, Undeloh, Wehlen, Wesel, the Meningen and Thonhof farms, and the Heimbuch forestry office. In the wooden bell tower, which stands freely next to the nave, the larger prayer bell dates back to the Middle Ages. It was cast in 1490, another smaller bell in 1508. The "Christ" bell was added in 1974. Particularly noteworthy is the wooden crucifix, which probably dates back to the 13th century and is thus the oldest example of Christian art in the Winsen church district. The altar was built in 1656/57 and restored in 1985.
