Great view of the course of the Oder in the Oderteich, the surrounding grass, such as the opposite moor, the path and its course; really lovely there!

Oderteich sun cap (HWN 217)

Highlight • River

Meeting point and stamping point, even without a rest area, there are enough opportunities to relax.
There is even a small stone beach.

Wooden boardwalk at the Oderteich

Highlight • Trail

The circular path is beautiful. You walk over the sand, the wooden walkway and then past the bathing area and there are plenty of opportunities to take a break. It's like a little vacation when you're there.

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.

Striegel House, Oderteich

Highlight • Monument

The intention to use particularly durable material for the Oderteich is best demonstrated by the harrow system. A shaft with a cross-section of about 1.10 × 1.20 meters was built into the dam at the deepest point in the valley. This shaft is lined with large hewn granite stones and reaches the natural valley floor. From the bottom of the shaft, an incoming channel 0.75 meters wide and 0.90 meters high leads into the storage space. As a result, the storage space of the pond always communicates with the water level in the shaft. From the bottom of the shaft, two wooden gullies made of oak with square cross-sections of about 25 × 25 centimeters lead to the air-side dam foot. They have an inlet from above at the bottom of the shaft, which is closed by a curry comb similar to a bathtub plug. This pin can be pulled or lowered from the harrow house above the shaft via a linkage. The oak drain is installed in such a way that it is always under water, even when the bottom outlet is closed, and therefore hardly rots. The entire bottom outlet construction is called a harrow.

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.
