June 23, 2024,Spiegeltaler Wasserfall – Oberer Spiegeltaler Teich Runde von Bockswiese

Very beautiful and varied tour, only short sections parallel to the road. The mostly narrow paths lead along artificial ditches through meadows (no shade!) and forest. Very few people.

Zellerfeld Artificial Ditch Water Hiking Trail,

Constructed by Upper Harz miners in the 17th century to channel water from the ponds northeast of Zellerfeld to the waterwheels for the ore machines in the shafts of the Zellerfeld main vein, which runs east-west about 750 meters south of here, to drive the conveyors and pumps.
Hence the name "Artificial Ditch."

The water hiking trail on the Zellerfeld artificial ditch shows the enormous effort that the Upper Harz miners made in constructing the artificial ditch for the operation of the mines.
On mostly small paths, the circular route leads along the long-distance water pipeline and numerous reservoirs for a length of approx. 12 km. Signs along the route tell their story.

Everything revolves around the water on this beautiful hike. The lakes were created several hundred years ago. At that time, mining in the Harz Mountains required huge amounts of water. This is well explained on countless boards during the hike.

Today, with the beautiful weather, we spontaneously started a little after-work round...
Komoot suggested the Zellerfelder Kunstgraben to me as a hike 🥾... oh wow, it actually still exists and we haven't walked there for a long time.
The Kunstgraben is part of the Oberharzer Wasserregal, an artificially created ditch whose main task was to supply the mines of the …

This tour had been on my to-do list for a few weeks, and today it was finally my turn: the WasserWanderWeg 22.
With good weather and perfect hiking temperatures of 15-20°, today was the perfect day for it.
Actually, we wanted to go somewhere else over Pentecost - but the weather report and the traffic jam reports made the decision …

October 20, 2022,Zellerfelder Kunstgraben nebst Erbprinzentanne

We had chosen the approx. 11 km long signposted Zellfelder Kunstgraben hike for today's hiking day. Of course, the cherry had to make a detour to the Erprinzentanne settlements, which were no longer inhabited or operated. Until 2011, there was a rehabilitation clinic on this site, which was bordered by 4 residential buildings. This hike actually went along the water …
