The dam is located right at the beginning of the tour from the 'Auf der kalten Hude' parking lot at the underpass of Lüneburger Straße. The sound of the rushing water is very pleasant. There are several seats where you can listen to the rushing sound, which is very relaxing. A visit is highly recommended 👍.

East of Amelinghausen, the river is dammed by a dam on Federal Highway 209 to form the Lopausee, a tourist destination. The overflow is also located here. North of Amelinghausen, the Lopau flows into the Luhe on the right bank near the Oldendorfer Totenstatt near Oldendorf (Luhe). From source to mouth, the river is 13.8 kilometers long.
