Innerstetalsperre

Highlight • Lake

Good for a road bike tour despite the traffic. The two-lane road is so well developed that overtaken cars usually don't push you very often.

For me, the Innerster Cycle Path between Wildemann and Langelsheim is one of the most beautiful cycle paths in the Goslar district. It doesn't run directly along the road, even though it's right next to it for most of its stretch. However, since it runs along the former railway line, the path is secluded enough and lined with trees to allow you to cycle through beautiful nature.

Innerste Dam

Highlight • Lake

The Innerste Dam is a dam in the Innerste region, located in the northwest of the Harz Mountains between Langelsheim, Wolfshagen, and Lautenthal. It was built between 1963 and 1966 and belongs to the Harz Waterworks. Its purposes are drinking water supply, flood protection, low-water elevation, and power generation. The average annual discharge of the Innerste Dam is 60 million cubic meters.

Lautenthal

Highlight • Settlement

The mining town of Lautenthal owes its existence to a miner named Kaspar Bitter, who discovered a rich ore vein on the Kranichsberg around 1530. With some of the silver ore he had found, he went to the then sovereign, who paid him handsomely and prompted him to start mining in the valley of the lute. Three and a half centuries passed, during which every man in the village was connected with the mining industry, its changing ups and downs, its rare times of prosperity and frequent times of need, for better or for worse. Most of the mines ceased operations in 1930/31.
Today a state-recognized climatic health resort in the middle of the Harz Nature Park

October 3, 2021,Granetalsperre – Innerste-Radweg über Hahnenklee

Today we went on the Innersteradweg from the Granetalsperre to the Innerstetalsperre to Lautenthal / Wildemann / Hahnenklee back to the Granetalsperre. Nice round, is recommended. 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Top route. Only the part behind Hahnenklee was a bad plan: steeply downhill over scree. Difficult to manage without a mountain bike. Greetings to Heika for her suggestions.

Another stage of the Weser-Harz-Heide cycle path from Wildemann to Goslar. A very nice bike path on a former railway embankment, paved and downhill. The way to Wildemann via Hahnenklee and the Steinbergalm. A bit tiring but that's part of it. All in all a very nice round.

Jaaaaa.... it was a lot less busy than when the "Car-free Innerstetal Bicycle Adventure Day" was still quite young. I can still remember how it was back then. Lower Saxony Environment Minister from the Greens, Monika Griefhahn, opened the adventure day. At that time we flocked to Wildemann in thousands.
Not much is left. What is most annoying are the …

Very nice, often shady tour, to drive very well even without E. You should plan a little more time for Goslar. The tour is recommended!

Wow, the free Friday before the long Pentecost weekend was spontaneously used for an approximately 50 km circular tour in sunny weather.

It's always a unique feeling when you're out on a weekday morning – the paths are mostly deserted then. All the more could you enjoy the fresh nature and the wonderful forest air after the rains of the …

It was a really nice tour and we had great weather. There was a small part where we drove in circles. Please don't drive this part, it's at about kilometer 38, please drive straight down Granetalstrasse. Have fun if you follow it.
