Course
editThe Luppbode rises south of Allrode and flows in a northerly direction. It continues as a lively, babbling brook, parallel to the L93 road. In spring, the Luppbode swells into a raging meltwater torrent in places. It is one of the few right-hand tributary streams that flow into the Bode in the area of the Bode Gorge. Its mouth is opposite the village of Treseburg.
Fauna
editA large number of threatened animal species live in the Luppbode, such as the brown trout and small shellfish.
