    Nice rusty brown water flows out of the iron source from a pipe and after a few meters the soup runs into the clear water of the dam. Somehow bizarre this source, inevitably you stop and wonder!
    Not far from the source of iron is a refurbished refuge, where sun worshipers should sit outside under the wooden board in the morning when the weather is good ;-)

      The iron source is located directly on the Dammgraben which is also part of the Harz Hexenstieg
