The Lahe rises as the Große Aue in the Garrel district of Tweel and is named Lahe east of Bösel in Aumühlen ⊙ . The river runs in a north-westerly direction, later almost parallel to the Lahe downfall , which feeds part of its water to the coastal channel . The river then bends south of Ahrensdorf near Friesoythe to flow south of Kampe near Ikenbrügge into the Soeste. The course of the river is designated as a nature reserve along its entire length . 53.0047315 7.9938564

The Laheniederung is a lowland landscape rich in grassland . This offers an excellent habitat for meadow birds , including curlew , lapwing , whinchat and wagtail . The transition from the Geest to the valley floor is clearly pronounced .

Tools from the Middle Stone Age (8000 to 4000/3000 BC) have been found along the Lahe .
