between > and the > runs a path that is surrounded on the right and left by high ramparts. Even if you know that the ditch is not of natural origin, but was created, it does not detract from the picturesque ambience. Under the path runs in a tube the Gösebek to regulate the water level of the lake.

The Danish ditch is an artificially created ditch with an impressive depth. It was intended to connect the Kleiner Pönitzer See with the Taschensee. The reason for this was the operation of several water mills for which the outflow of the local streams was not sufficient. So additional water had to be brought in. At the northern exit of Gronenberg there is an information board with further details about the builder and the ditch.

The water level of the Taschensee is artificially regulated by a drainage structure ("Monk"), the drainage is piped through the so-called "Danish Graben" (also called "Danish Canal").
