The source is located on the Großenhain / Ebersdorf road bridge , the confluence with the Oste is near Brobergen , where the Mehe pumping station, built in 1956, is also located.
Between Dornsode and Alfstedt , the Westerbek flows from the right. Further tributaries are the Wallbeck between Alfstedt and Mehedorf and the Hollener Mühlenbach between Hollen and the north end of Ostendorf .
