오데르타이히‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 호수

A very nice round trip around the Oderteich, you come along here 😉

Every dam needs a flood relief system to ensure that even exceptionally large floods do not cause the crest of the dam to overflow. At the Oderteich, it is located at the eastern end of the dam. In the reservoir in front of the outflow, several menhir-like granite steles, about 2.50 meters high, are noticeable. They serve to keep ice floes away from the overflow, as they could block the outflow cross-section.[24] The sluice system of the old outflow was manufactured in 1895 by the Royal Central Forge Clausthal. It makes it possible to increase the reservoir level by another meter. Originally, the outflow continued straight on for almost 100 meters towards the south before the water could rush down into the valley. This route is still visible to the trained eye in the terrain. When, towards the end of construction work in 1722, stones were still missing to complete the dam, the steeply sloping and approximately 80-meter-long Great Flood was blasted out of the rock about 60 meters below the sluice gate at a right angle to this outfall, with the hope that it would improve hydraulic performance. The shot-shot route carved into the rock is particularly impressive when in use. The outfall was initially not sufficiently dimensioned. In December 1760, the dam was overflowed during an exceptional flood. The stable dam construction meant that only minor damage occurred. The response was to raise the dam by one meter, which probably only compensated for the dam settlement that had occurred up to that point. In 1886/87, it was concluded that the performance of the outfall needed to be increased further. To this end, a further outfall was built a few meters east of the existing outfall, twelve meters wide at the inlet, with the overflow threshold about one meter above the threshold of the old main outfall. It runs parallel to the main outflow under the B 242 and merges with it shortly before the overflow level and the subsequent spillway. This has increased the capacity of the flood relief system by around 50%.

You can also swim there and take a nice little walk. Hiking boots are recommended, though.

The overflow apron is definitely interesting to look at

Very nice corner. A lot of water flows in winter.

Very nice place to relax.

The protective system of the old outflow was manufactured in 1895 by the royal central forge in Clausthal. It makes it possible to increase the storage target by another meter.

interesting at high tide/melting snow
