The Abbegraben is a moat created in 1827 southeast of Torfhaus. It was used to supply the mines of the Burgstätter Zug around Clausthal with drive water for the water wheels there. The ditch taps the water of the Abbe, which rises in the water-rich Brockenfeld - a swampy area southwest of the Brocken. The total length of the Abbegraben is 1,540 meters.
