클라우스탈-젤러펠트 주변 최고의 가족 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

We visited on a sunny and snowy winter day in January. Even (or perhaps especially) with everything covered in a thick blanket of snow, it was an absolutely beautiful scene. The Oderteich pond was easily accessible via the large parking lot located across the road. The paths around the Oderteich were quite narrow on this winter day, which made things a bit tight at times with two dogs, especially when encountering oncoming traffic. But somehow, we always managed to make it work. :) Oh, and the name "Oderteich" shouldn't be taken too literally; the path around it is almost 5 km long. :)

You have to plan for 1.5 hours

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.

All critics of the national park should take a look at this piece of forest. A near-natural forest has developed here in 30 years without human intervention.

A beautiful spot! The water—deep blue from a distance, purple to amber up close. There are two swimming areas. A must-do walk! Root paths, streams, moorland, and wooden walkways. A very varied route.

A beautiful view of the Oderteich.

Very nice path always along the ditch

Swimming: It is generally possible to swim in the Upper Spiegeltal Pond. However, the shoreline is almost entirely densely overgrown, making it difficult to even reach the water in many places. Anyone wishing to swim here does so at their own risk, and the risks associated with the remote location should also be considered. Fishing: With the appropriate permit, fishing is permitted in the Upper Spiegeltal Pond. The water is primarily populated by brown trout. The pond is included in the "Upper Harz Ponds Fishing Map." If interested, please contact Harzwasserwerke, the owner and operator of this historic facility.
