CourseEdit
The Bewer rises in the middle of the Elfas hills and is their most important drainage system. Passing through hills covered in mixed forest, the stream bed soon leaves this small ridge and runs initially in a southeasterly direction along its southern perimeter. On the outskirts of Portenhagen the Bewer changes direction, flowing southwest towards Lüthorst. The stream then passes Deitersen and finally empties into the Ilme near Markoldendorf.
Flora and faunaEdit
Endangered species in and on the Bewer include the noble crayfish and the marsh marigold. For the protection of this ecosystem, a renaturalisation has been carried out.
