The Geeste springs near Hipstedt, ten kilometers west of Bremervörde. As a small Geest stream, it flows northwest past Altluneberg and Bramel before it flows after about 40 km as the last tributary of the Weser into the Lower Weser as a wide marsh waterbody.
The navigable length of the Geeste is about 25 kilometers. This section is also the beginning or the end of the Elbe-Weser shipping route.
The lowlands of the Geeste are shaped by a landscape of meadows and pastures, riverbank vegetation, and swamp, oak, and beech forests. It buzzes, hums, and rustles on your route because the Geeste is a habitat for many animal and plant species. Endangered species, such as the otter, have also become native here again.

Safety guidelines
The entry and exit points on the Geeste are only suitable for launching canoes and kayaks. Wild camping and grilling are not allowed.
So that future visitors can also find the Geeste as a small natural paradise, we ask all canoeists to make sure no trash is left behind in nature.
We are always happy to receive suggestions and improvements.
