The Warnau is an approximately 18 km long right tributary of the Böhme and belongs to the river system of the Weser . Its catchment area of around 49 km² is mainly in the Heidekreis district ( Lower Saxony ).
The Warnau rises in the Neuenkirchen district of Behningen, flows generally southwards from the Visselhöveder district of Ottingen , passes the Walsroder districts of Ahrsen, Jarlingen , Benefeld and Cordingen and flows south of the Walsroder district of Borg into the Böhme .
In Ottingen the Warnau is also called Schneebach , which is derived from the border running in the brook ( Low German Sneede , once between the Diocese of Verden and the Duchy of Lüneburg , now between the districts of Heidekreis and Rotenburg ). Between Cordingen and Benefeld it forms an attractive, narrow forest valley with the restored Cordinger mill (events). Down the river to the mouth of the river, your meadow valley is accompanied on one side by a picturesque steep bank with a narrow hiking path. The path meets the Bomlitz Archaeological Hiking Trail in the south , which leads through a Bronze Age burial ground on a hilltop of the Eibia-Lohheide recreation area and south of the crossing Vogelparkstraße to the striking rampart system of the old Saxon Hünenburg at the confluence of the Warnau and the Böhme. A legend connects the complex with the founding of the nearby oldest Heidekloster Walsrode .
The Warnautal was followed by the Walsrode – Visselhövede railway line , which is now dismantled north of Cordingen (with the former Jarlingen station ). The section south of Cordingen is now used as the Bomlitz – Walsrode railway line for goods traffic in the Walsrode industrial park . This route crosses the Warnau on a high bridge between Cordingen and Benefeld.
