Course

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 (a district of Dassel) the Bewer changes direction, flowing southwest towards Lüthorst. The stream then passes Deitersen and finally empties into the Ilme near Markoldendorf (a district of Dassel).

Flora and fauna

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.[2]

gollark: I did.
gollark: Assuming moderators can `/cf` other people's stuff, maybe Hydro was just happily going about banning me from his stuff (not requiring moderator powers), but accidentally stood in urn street and did that.
gollark: The coincidence of timing is possibly odd, given that I don't think I recently annoyed crazed too.
gollark: Anyway, since crazed appears to have *not* banned me from his other claims, perhaps hydro accidentally used magic mod powers to ban me from urn street or something.
