Oderteich riverside path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Over trodden roots and round boulders it goes along the east bank, past the dead, pale spruce trunks, the green regrowing trees and later over wooden planks and yellow gravel. When the weather is nice, the water of the Oder pond is a great opportunity to cool off.

Frau Holle wooden sculpture at the Oderteich

Highlight • Monument

In the old days (the dam wall was far from standing), Mother Holle loved a human warrior called Odin. When he died, his soul spent all the time with Mother Holle, so that she neglected her work badly. God, who did not approve of the unequal alliance, cursed the soul of Odin to wander restlessly: from mountain to valley, up into the sky and down again to the mountain. This is how his soul flows in the waters of the Oder and the Oderteich to this day.

To this day, Frau Holle climbs up the mountains from the Oderbruch every year and weeps and sobs that God will have mercy. Her tears then flow down the valley together with her lover and collect in the moors around the Oderteich. And even today you can see Frau Holle as a white woman weeping for Odin. When a person catches their tears, they turn into pearls. The generous are richly rewarded, but she treats the greedy badly.

Oderteich

Highlight • Lake

The Oderteich is a beautiful body of water in the Harz National Park. A path leads you around the pond. You can take wonderful photos from the dam. The Brocken bypass of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg leads along here. Of course, the Harz Hiking Needle also has a stamp at the Oderteich. Include the pond in a hike over the Rehberger Graben or in the direction of the Torfhaus.

Directly near the dam there is a free parking lot on the Harzhochstrasse.
