Dammgraben Trail

Highlight • Trail

At 25 km, the dam ditch is the longest man-made ditch. Its water once powered the mines in Altenau and Clausthal.
There is a beautiful hiking trail right next to the dam ditch.

Gerlachsbacher Damm

Highlight • Monument

The Gerlachsbacher Dam, also known as the Eisenqueller Dam, appears to have been an ambitious construction project that was never completed due to political circumstances.
