The rock is a highlight, but unfortunately no opportunity to rest and otherwise you can only look at it.

Stamp point 221 / Jungfernklippe

The Jungfernklippe (660 m above sea level) is located southwest of the Dehnenkopf (775 m above sea level) and above the Kellwassertal on a forest road, which also forms the border of the national park.

The cliff as such is unspectacular, but a few hundred meters away, below the Jungfernklippe on the Blochschleife, you can discover what is now the beginning of the dam ditch.

As early as the middle of the 17th century, it was noticed that the water around Clausthal-Zellerfeld was no longer sufficient for the mines on the Clausthal plateau. The mining authority therefore developed a plan to "bring in the distant waters of the Bruchberg and the Brockenfeld" by building a "long ditch". The first work began on the Mönchstal watercourse in 1659 and ended in 1827 with the diversion on the Bloch loop.

The history of the dam ditch system

The easiest way to reach the Jungfernklippe is from the small “Ulmer Weg” car park, which is located directly on the B 4, approx. 1 km below the large car park at the Torfhaus. Two wide, gravel forest roads begin on the opposite side of the road, of which the left gravel road leads slightly downhill to the Jungfernklippe, approx. 2 km away.

The stamp point can also be reached from the direction of Torfhaus. Parking lot Below the Lerchenköpfe, cross the road and follow the Kellwasser around the Dehnenkopf for 1.5 km.
