As part of the Upper Harz water shelf, an impressive structure. Especially in view of the fact that the whole thing was built only with human and animal power.

The hike was partly on paths that no longer existed because it was impossible to get through due to the tree fall, so please don't hike again!

Start of the week with a hike 🌞😊....
Decided at very short notice to go on a circular tour of the Upper Harz ponds near Clausthal Zellerfeld in the most beautiful summer sun. The Upper Harz water system with its many ponds and the network of flood and water ditches rightly has the status of a World Heritage Site.

Started from the parking lot on Polsterberg. I was absolutely thrilled because there was snow and the sun was laughing too. The first goal was Schmidt's monument and then it went downhill, so that means up again at some point 😄. Yep, up to the Braunseck it went steadily uphill. Only two footprints could be seen in the snow, it …

This time, the weather was great again and we went along the Huttaler Graben, part of the Huttaler Widerwaage. The special thing here is that there is no gradient and, with the right gear, you could drain or feed water from the Huttal. And that was in 1776. It was impressive.
Then you walk a little more relaxed through the …

Due to the current snow situation and numerous fallen trees, sections of this tour are currently hardly accessible. In addition, a rather deep stream had to be crossed with a big jump and a section had to be covered sitting or on all fours due to a broken path. So if you like adventure, you will not be disappointed on …

Nice tour on the main paths.
The paths are not for the inexperienced, broken trees with sharp branches block the way. Very good fitness, balance, flexibility required. Sometimes even dangerous!
Recommendation:
It is better to follow the main paths and accept the extra 1-2km!
