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."

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 …

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.

The Kunstgraben is part of the Oberharzer Wasserregal, an artificially created ditch whose main task was to supply the mines of the …

I already have all the Harz hiking pin stamps in the West Harz, but I'm still drawn back there again and again. I find the area around Clausthal-Zellerfeld and the Upper Harz water system with its almost 70 lakes particularly unique. It often feels like Scandinavia.
The starting point of this tour is the car park at Kellerhalsteich. Along kilometers …

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 …
