Ingenious water control system"🌊-
Cascade consisting of ponds
various water ditches, which were used to transport the precious liquid during the mining period ⚒️.
All these facilities served to supply the water wheels of the mines.
They are part of the cultural monument "Oberharzer Wasserregal" and since 2010 also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.🌊💙
