    Hiking

    The Oberharzer Wasserregal (or: Upper Harz Water Management) is a system for the diversion and storage of water, which was mainly created in the 16th to the 19th century and which powered water wheels in the mines of the Upper Harz mining industry. Here, dammed up water is passed on via various streams, ditches and canals. It is considered the world's most important pre-industrial mining water management system.
    In this context, shelf means royal sovereignty. With the mountain shelf the sovereign granted the right to mine and to use the available water with the water shelf.
