담 쾨니히슈테‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 호수

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 Königshütte dam stretches out next to you here. The path takes you directly along its banks and you have great views of the water and the dam while cycling.

The dam was built on the Bode as an 18 m high concrete gravity dam for drinking water supply and flood protection, with a war-related interruption from 1939 to 1943 and 1952 to 1956, but is also used to raise low water levels and generate electricity. The hydroelectric plant has a nominal output of 60 kW and generates 0.18 GWh per year. The slightly curved wall is 108 m long and has a volume of 13,500 m³. It can be overflowed almost across its entire width. A fishbelly flap is installed in one field, which can be lowered by 1.5 m to relieve flooding. The reservoir has a volume of 1.2 million m³ and covers an area of 32 hectares. Part of the water is channeled from here through a 1,795 m long tunnel to the Rappbode Dam. The other part flows into the Bode to the Wendefurth dam, where it rejoins the water from the Rappbode dam. Source: Wikipedia
