Glasebach Adit (HWN 175)

Highlight • Historical Site

Beautiful stamping point for the Harz hiking pin with a rest area. We particularly like it here in summer, as the area is completely in the cool shade.

Lessing Cave and Water Wheel

Highlight • Structure

Bei der "Lessinghöhle" handelt es sich um keine Höhle im eigentlichen Sinne, da sie nicht natürlichen Ursprungs ist. Die Hohlräume sollten daher eher als Grotten, besser aber als Stollen und Schächte bezeichnet werden.

Small Cave Near Friedrichsbrunn

Highlight • Cave

The small cave is right on the way, with bags or a headlamp you can shine in the long corridor.
Pure is difficult because the ground is filled with water.
