Do you know the "Sperberhaier Damm"? The impressive structure, built by hand, once served as a water supply for the Clausthal mining operations, as did the numerous ponds, ditches, and waterways (= underground channels) of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Harz Water Management System".
The openings, entrances and exits of the water into the underworld, are partially still visible. Take a look at the "Dennert-Tanne", the typical resinous yellow signs in the shape of a conifer, the building material of the miners. Passing through Altenau, we enter the Harz National Park. With luck, we may encounter a shy lynx - the king of the Harz forests, which is being reintroduced here. Visit the Torfhaus National Park Visitor Center and join a guided hike with a National Park Ranger.
