The reservoir supplies drinking water to the cities of Braunschweig, Wolfenbüttel, and Wolfsburg. The water is piped to the Lewerberg reservoir near Liebenburg, where drinking water from the Grane Dam also arrives. From there, a pipeline leads to the Thieder Lindenberg and further to the cities of Braunschweig and Wolfsburg. The water of the Ecker River is relatively acidic, with a pH of 4.6, due to the humic acid-rich moor streams. It is also low in nutrients and therefore well suited for drinking water treatment.[3] The dam is not used for fishing, as most fish cannot tolerate the low pH.[5] Below the dam, the water is almost neutral.

The Ecker Dam (sometimes also called the Ecker Reservoir) is a dam near Bad Harzburg in the Harz Mountains, which was commissioned in 1943[1] and impounds the Ecker River and its tributaries. Operated by Harz Waterworks, the facility serves to supply drinking water, protect against flooding, increase low water levels, and generate energy.[2] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckertalsperre

This very cool bike path is – unusually for the Harz Mountains – fairly flat. The approximately 6 kilometers are easy to cycle along.

According to the information board, the ditch is almost 8km long, then plunges into the mines and eventually flows into the Sieber River. Incredible!

The weather was similar to the photo, very nice….

The Trudenstein is worth a trip and is rewarded with great views when the weather is nice.
