The Grane Dam was built between 1966 and 1969 and is therefore the youngest dam in the Harz Mountains.

From the Altarklippen you have a wonderful view over the Granetalsperre to the Rammelsberg. For me it is one of the top 20 stamping points for the Harz hiking pin. The path up to the Altarklippen is easy to do - even by bike.

everything about the water is great.. if there is also a clear view and a few benches, then it is the ideal PLACE for a break, I think the Granetalsperre is an absolute mega structure

A hike around the Granetalsperre is always worthwhile, and the 14.5 km can also be tackled very well by bike. There is also a stamp of the HWN, 110 Granestausee.
