Beautiful views of the Oker Dam from this spot! With luck, you might even spot the MS AquaMarin sailing by.

At the secluded Eckertalsperre is usually not much going on, because the next parking lot is far away. Previously, the German-German border ran through the middle of the dam. A landmark on the dam still reminds of it today.

Dammgraben Pathway

Highlight • Trail

Unfortunately, there are no spruce trees here anymore. But you have new foresight and the Harz becomes more colorful because wildflowers now also have a chance because they get more light.
The dam ditch is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Harz Water Shelf. A trip here is always worth it, whether by bike or on foot.
