The Grumbacher Flößgraben directs water derived from the Grumbach above the Unterer Grumbacher Teich on the mountain slope to the east and south around the old mining pond. This moat, about one kilometer long, was built towards the end of the 17th century for the purpose of transporting wood. To do this, the wood was cut into one to two meter long pieces and let it float on the water down the valley in the direction of today's Grumbach waterfall on the other side of the pond. At this point, the raw material extracted from the Upper Harz forests fell back down to the level of the Grumbach via a water-filled wooden gully, known in the miners' language as flumes. It was then carried further to its destination outside the Harz Mountains by this mountain stream and with the help of the small tidal waves triggered by the abrupt discharge of water from the Lower Grumbacher Teich. This type of timber transport, known as "trifting", was not uncommon in the Harz Mountains at that time. Therefore, there were once numerous hydraulic engineering systems built for the purpose of rafting and drifting.

In our days, other more efficient procedures have long since replaced the laborious rafting. What has remained is the functional, listed moat with a picturesque hiking trail on the slope-side embankment. Along the ditch you will find information boards, seating and a lovingly restored spillway through which excess water can be drained into the pond further down the valley.
