The Jordanbach is a right tributary of the Böhme (southwestern Lüneburg Heath ). It flows exclusively in the area of ​​the Lower Saxon city ​​of Walsrode in the Heidekreis district .

The headwaters of the seven-kilometer-long stream lies in the Vehmsmoor , the western half of which it drains. The moor lies on a gently undulating plateau of the Walsroder loam geest, which is known as the natural area . It breaks little south suddenly and up to 40 meters deep the Aller glacial valley from. The Jordanbach flowing in a southerly direction cuts noticeably into this edge of the Geest plateau and then emerges at Altenboitzen into the grassland-shaped valley floodplain of the Böhme. It then follows the foot of the slope to the southwest and finally flows into the Böhme, which also flows southwest to the Aller .

The Jordanbach is the namesake for a railway line between Bomlitz and Altenboitzen, which today only serves tourist purposes and on which the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Verkehrsfreunde Lüneburg e. V. carries out individual special trips with the Heideexpress . From a section of the railway line Verden -Walsrode of Verden Walsroder railway (since 1910) and the Bomlitz-Walsrode railway (since 1915) existing connection is occasionally Jordan Bomlitz train called because it from the valley of the Jordan creek into Bomlitztal leads.
