Varreler Bäke
As Klosterbach it flows south of Bremen on Lower Saxon territory through the villages of Bassum, Kirchseelte and Heiligenrode (a district of Stuhr). From Tölkenbrück (Varrel , a district of Stuhr), the Klosterbach is given the name Varreler Bäke. This then flows for a short distance through the district of Diepholz (Lower Saxony). It then continues through the city-state of Bremen through Huchting and discharges into the Ochtum near the village of Strom .
The Varreler Bäke proper has a length of about 6 km (3.7 mi); together with the Klosterbach it is 41 km (25 mi) long. It is part of the Weser basin.
In Varrel there is still a water mill, witness to the fact that the water power of streams was once used to generate power in order to run corn mills.
