[1] Walle lies on a country road between Winsen (Aller) and Bergen on the southern perimeter of the Lüneburg Heath in Lower Saxony.

The little village with under 1,000 inhabitants is situated on a small elevation about 60 metres (200 ft) above Winsen (Aller).

The older part of the settlement, referred to locally as Das Dorf ("The Village"), consists of old farmhouses, a kindergarten and a sports club.

The commitment of members of its various clubs and societies as well as all other villagers however enables the small community to continue to develop despite its shrinking public funding.

The Bruderbaum ("Brother's Tree") stands in the forest east of the village and is surrounded by many a heathland legend.
