Tips
The Eckerstausee is fed by various tributaries and is used to supply drinking water and energy: there are two turbines below the dam. If you walk over the 60-meter-high dam wall, you cross the former inner-German border between the FRG and the GDR.

On the 60-meter-high dam of the Eckerstausee you cross the former inner-German border between the FRG and the GDR. The reservoir is fed by various tributaries and is used to supply drinking water and energy: there are two turbines below the dam. No matter what the weather: the Eckerstausee is a quiet idyll far away from any noise. The Brocken towers some distance above the Harz and serves as a landmark for you!

A piece of inner German history in the Harz. The border ran directly into the middle of the dam.
