The Hüttenteich is in a wonderfully idyllic location and not as overcrowded as many other reservoir ponds in the Upper Harz water shelf. There are many benches on the top of the dam for a short break.

The Altenauer Hüttenteich was laid out in 1711 to supply the Altenauer Silberhütte with water. A very beautiful piece of nature. I hope that I can come back someday.

The Hüttenteich supplied the Altenauer Silberhütte with process water until 1911.
If you are looking for tranquility, this is the right place for you.

On the outskirts of Altenau.
The large overflow handles a lot of water.

While we were here, a black stork silently took flight and flew away. It was a wonderful experience to see these beautiful animals up close!
