Königshütte Waterfall (HWN 40)

Highlight • Waterfall

A very beautiful and mostly very calm waterfall. The rest area nearby offers you enough seats. Above the waterfall you look down on Königshütte. There is also a stamp office for the Harzer hiking nobility up here. If you come here by car, you can park in front of the railway bridge on a large gravel area. If you have more time, after a few hundred meters you will find the Rabensteine, from which you have a magnificent view of the Hochharz.

Mandelholz Dam

Highlight • Monument

The dam was built from 1952 to 1957 and consists of an earth dam with an integrated concrete control corridor. In order to protect the top of the dam from flooding, an overflow was installed south of it as a flood relief. The last time the dam overflowed was during the 2023 flood.

Cycle Path Along the B4 – Former Inner German Border

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The bike path is OK, a few bumps in the road but no potholes etc.

The best example of German construction logic: Here is a mandatory bike path, but it ends in nowhere after 1.1km, and you have to ride on the road for the remaining 3.3km...
