At this point on the Dammgraben you have a beautiful view of Altenau.
There is also a bench at this point. However, the bench seems to be for minis, it is very deep 😁

Dammgraben Pathway

Highlight • Trail

Unfortunately, there are no spruce trees here anymore. But you have new foresight and the Harz becomes more colorful because wildflowers now also have a chance because they get more …

A wonderful relic from the mining era at the Dammgraben.
Part of the Upper Harz Water Shelf UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Dammgraben is great for cycling and always has great views.

Schachtkopf Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hut has a typical resin construction. Hikers can easily assert themselves in bad weather. In front of the hut there is a small rest area right next to the Harzer Hexenstieg and the Dammgraben.

The Rose is a ski slope, here you have a great view of Altenau.
