Dammgraben (Oberharzer Wasserregal)

Highlight • Monument

This path is not just beautiful. You have the feeling that the water runs with you all the time. And if you then look at it or let it through as when these moats and "water braids" are, it is all the more astonishing how beautifully they have been preserved to this day.

Stamp point, refuge and rest area, memorial stone for fallen forest workers in the First World War, Harz water shelf with weir.

Schachtkopf Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hut has a typical resin construction. Hikers can easily assert themselves in bad weather. In front of the hut there is a small rest area right next to the Harzer Hexenstieg and the Dammgraben.
