The Salzgitter Höhenzug has a special relevance for mining history. However, nowadays there is nothing left to see of the former mines and open-cast mines. Nevertheless, the interventions in nature from back then have left some traces that are still worth discovering today. On circular hiking trail No. 17, the area of the former Bartelszeche and the former clarifying pond (now Reihersee) are such traces that shape the area. The Reihersee offers a good place for special plants with its unique water composition. Hiking trail No. 17 is initially easy to walk on a wide forest path. However, the ascent to the ridge path is very muddy after rain showers and a challenge. Also, the descent later from Reihersee back to the forest path was not quite easy in the summer of 2021 due to tree felling actions. For those who like, before the descent, you can take a short detour to the right to the shore of Reihersee.
