The Rosenhöfer Kunstgraben is a historic water management structure in the Upper Harz. This approximately 10,500 meter long moat was once built for mining purposes. Large parts of it still exist today and are also functional for short distances.

This moat was built around 1704 and was initially called the "Drei Königer Kehrradsgraben." Upon completion, the structure would have a total length of more than ten kilometers. Presumably, existing older ditches were used in some sections or built over.

Nice way when there are more trees 🌳 along the way.
In the summer when the planet/sun is full, probably not so pleasant to walk.
