I highly recommend the Hotel "11 Eulen." Beautiful, modern rooms. Quietly located on the campsite. If you like organic food, this is definitely the place for you.

The Ilmenau is an 86-kilometer-long (125-kilometer-long with its source, the Stederau) left and southern tributary of the Elbe in northeastern Lower Saxony. With an average water flow of around 18 cubic meters per second, it is by far the largest river in the Lüneburg Heath. From the northwest edge of the Brausebrücke bridge at the Abtsmühle in Lüneburg to its confluence with the Elbe at km 599, it is a federal waterway,[6] for which the Elbe Waterways and Shipping Authority is responsible.
