From the Eckersprung to just before Abbenrode and below it again for a short stretch is the Ecker border river between the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt and the district of Goslar in Lower Saxony. Until German reunification, the inner-German border between the German Democratic Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany ran here.

My goal was to capture the sunrise at the northern edge of the Harz Mountains. The route started at the Unity Monument. Through the village of Eckertal to the R1 in the direction of Ilsenburg. After the first ascent I turned right into the Tuchfeldstal. The path is not easy for cyclists (former patrol road). I then took the 3rd left turn. After about 400m I reached my destination and was able to photograph the sunrise. You have a beautiful view of the northern Harz foreland. The fish ponds near Veckenstett are striking.
