ヴォルブランツハウゼンの天然記念物・トップ20

The Klingenberg Spring has a lot to offer. You'll find a great resting place here, you can refresh yourself at the spring, and learn interesting facts from the information board. A visit here is definitely worth it!

I enjoyed the peace and the beautiful forest.

A mystical place, everywhere it bubbles and the color of the water is something very special.

This route leads along the Eichsfeld hiking trail and the karst hiking trail through a beautiful mixed forest.

Nice place with tables and benches. Invites you to take a break with a good view of the Harz mountains.

The hydrogeological background of this comparatively strong spring with its impressive spring pot is very interesting: The groundwater flowing down from the Harz slopes, including seepage water from the rivers Oder and Sieber to the north, rushes at high speed at a depth of around 50 meters through an underground karst cave system. In the source area of the Rhume, with great pressure on a wall, it hits clay-containing and thus water-impermeable rock. This forms an underground dam, which lets the spring water of the Rhume shoot up to the surface. The more or less bluish coloration of the water, depending on the incidence of light, is caused by light scattering of small lime particles, which the water absorbs on its way through the rock layers.

The Mackenröder Trail is a fine single trail that meanders above the Mackenröder cliffs and sometimes leads very close to the edge of the cliff. You should drive carefully in these places in greasy, dirty weather. Overall, however, the trail is great to ride. There is only one very steep section that is a bit challenging. Tip for "biobikers": You should drive the trail north. It's more fun there, because it's mostly downhill and only has to be pedaled briefly uphill in a few places.
