😎The Silberteich is a pond in the Upper Harz that was once created for mining purposes. It is located in the Harz National Park on the upper reaches of the Brunnenbach, which rises south of Königskrug. The artificial body of water, surrounded by forest on all sides, is located about two kilometers west of Braunlage city center.
The silver pond was originally called “Brunnenbacher Teich” or “Andreasberger Teich”. It was built in the middle of the 18th century. It served to supply water to the ore mines in the nearby Oder valley.
In December 1760, the pond dam, which had only recently been completed, broke, which resulted in the destruction of the Brunnenbachsmühle downstream. This accident claimed several lives at the time. The dam was then rebuilt, which is why the people in the area referred to the resulting backwater as the “New Pond” for a long time afterwards.
Today a hiking trail leads over the approximately 90 meter long and approximately 14 meter high pond dam, which connects the Upper Harz towns of Braunlage and St. Andreasberg. The silver pond itself is around 280 meters long and has a maximum width of 70 meters. Large parts of the northwest bank area form a valuable biotope and are not directly accessible.

A very beautiful and varied hike. And in between there is an opportunity to stop off.
