ダムウェンデフルトのおすすめランニングルート

Somewhat hidden, but visible from the path if you have your eyes open.

A great destination for young and old.

😎According to my research (statements from older Hasselfeld residents), this is an old explosives bunker. The explosives bunker here is directly related to the extensive blasting work 💥 necessary for the construction of the Rappbode Dam. The construction of the dam, in particular the excavation work for the dam foundations, which were to be anchored 16 meters deep into the rock, as well as the construction of the underground tunnel 🚇, required the massive use of explosives to break through the hard rock bedrock of the Harz Mountains. Function of the explosives bunkers: Storage: The bunkers served to safely store the large quantities of explosive materials (such as dynamite or other explosives and detonators) needed for the rock works. Safety: Due to the high risk of explosion, these storage facilities had to be built deep in the forest, away from the actual construction site and the workers' quarters. This decentralized storage minimized the risk of disaster from accidental explosions. Construction period: They were in operation both during the initial construction phase from 1938 and after work resumed in 1952 until completion in 1959. https://harzwelten.online/geschichte/der-grosse-bau-der-rappbodetalsperre/

From the Rappbode Dam, you have breathtaking views over dense forests, rolling hills, and the shimmering water. The surrounding nature invites you to linger, hike, and breathe deeply.

The fourth stage of the Harz Witches' Trail also runs along this path. All information about the long-distance hiking trail can be found at the following link: https://www.harzinfo.de/erlebnisse/wandern/harzer-hexen-stieg (as of June 30, 2025).

The path over the dam is good, but the view of the suspension bridge makes it even more special.

A very beautiful viewpoint.

The right thing for everyone who wants to experience something special.
