As a descent (i.e. the other way around) definitely also super worthwhile, it was a lot of fun with a gravel bike :)

In spring it is teeming with frogs, a break is fun, just no seating by the lake, a pity as the lake has Scandinavian flair.

Until the first half of the 20th century, the pond was called Silberteich (Silver Pond) due to its clean water. It served as a reservoir for the former Alte Grube (Old Mine) on the Hohen Warte hill. Until 1962, the pond was used as a drinking water reservoir for Gernrode. Since then, the town has received its drinking water from the Rappbode Dam. After heavy rain in 1976, the pond's dam broke, and the water flowed as far as Gernrode, 3.5 km away. Following this disaster, the dam was reinforced and equipped with an overflow system. The pond reaches its greatest depth of 12 m at the dam. Source: Wikipedia

A drab pedestrian bridge, certainly no highlight.

Just behind the three-arch bridge is the pedestrian bridge over the Quarmbach. Cars must ford the stream during high water.
