Hiking

An engineering masterpiece from the period between 1536 and 1866 is considered one of the greatest sights in the Harz Mountains - the Upper Harz Water Regale. It includes all structures that have been erected to store water and transport it to mines, some of which are far away. It is one of the largest historical water management systems in global mining and at the same time one of the most important. The Upper Harz water regime includes many reservoirs, kilometers of water ditches and underground watercourses.

Hiking

One of six ponds in a cascade in the Grumbach valley as well as various moats, which were used to transport the precious water. All of these facilities were built from 1680 to supply the water wheels of the mines around Hahnenklee-Bockswiese. They are part of the cultural monument "Oberharzer Wasserregal" and since 2010 also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
