The Kranichteich is a historic, artificially created mining pond dating back to 1674. It is part of the Upper Harz Water Management System and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The "Grüner Hirsch" (Green Stag) silver mine, belonging to the Burgstätter mining district and once located about 400 meters west of the Mittlerer Pfauenteich (Middle Peacock Pond), began operations in August 1645. It was one of the few, not particularly productive, ore mines in this mining area. This mine would probably have long since been forgotten if the pond, built around the same time and named after it, had not soon played a crucial role in mining near Clausthal. The exact date of the pond's construction has not been recorded, but it likely occurred at the same time as work began at the "Grüner Hirsch," or at least before 1660. In any case, a comprehensive document from 1661, which has survived to the present day, already lists the "Grüner Hirsch Pond" as part of the water supply for the Burgstätter main drainage system.

Located on the southeastern edge of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, the Hirschler Pond is one of the most impressive visible legacies of centuries of mining activity in the Upper Harz Mountains. This reservoir is the uppermost and, with its extensive and compact surface area, by far the largest man-made body of water in what is arguably the most striking cascade of ponds in the Harz. Together with the three Peacock Ponds below it, it, as the largest of these four "blue eyes," shapes the iconic image of the historic Upper Harz water management system.

The railway line to Clausthal was closed in 1976, and with it the railway station.

There are a few ponds here due to mining - it's fun to drive over the dams

The church was built in ten months from 1907 to 1908. Its model was the much older stave churches of Norway. Prof. Karl Mohrmann, consistorial master builder of the Hanoverian regional church, drew inspiration from Nordic churches, but adapted the size and design to the needs of the congregation. Thus, the Hahnenklee Stave Church, with its 240 seats, is larger than its Norwegian counterparts, and the relatively large windows allow plenty of light into the interior. The local craftsmen used spruce wood from the surrounding area as building material, which also made construction more cost-effective than the originally planned neo-Gothic brick structure. Many elements of the architectural style are reminiscent of shipbuilding, even somewhat of Viking ships with their numerous dragons on the roof and in the decorations. The chandelier is modeled after a ship's wheel.
