    In the southern Harz gypsum karst area is the trowel, a remaining cave in karst rock and the oldest natural monument in the district of Nordhausen. This karst cave is located between Ellrich and Ilfeld near the village of Appenrode in the Kellholz forest. The trowel has an approximately 5 meter deep cave lake that can be seen shimmering from a railing.

      The Kelle is located directly on the karst hiking trail, this grotto lake is always worth a descent, even if it's really cool here. Recently there is a stamp box of the Harzer hiking needle for the karst hiking trail.

        I have never seen anything like it. A look into an underground lake, without having to crawl into a cave.
