It begins at the B 215, runs through the so-called Mill Quarter (Mühlenviertel) of Rotenburg an der Wümme, passes nearby Bothel and after about 20 km passes through the town centre of Visselhövede to the southeast. Continuing in a southwesterly direction it crosses the Bomlitz valley north of Bomlitz. In Dorfmark (part of Bad Fallingbostel) it crosses the B 209 and joins the A 7 motorway just east of the village.
