Where the Rehberger and Sonnenberger ditches meet

Highlight • Monument

Not just a nice place for a break! The Sonnenberger Graben and the Rehberger Graben date back to the mining era in the Harz. The two ditches that are joined here were used to supply water to the mining industry at the time. There are said to be around 1,600 of these ditch systems in the Harz.

Rehberger Grabenhaus (HWN 155)

Highlight • Restaurant

nationalpark-harz.de/de/urlaub-im-nationalpark/waldgaststaetten
The national park forest restaurant Rehberger Grabenhaus is located about 2 km north of Sankt Andreasberg on the Rehberger Grabenweg, one of the most attractive hiking trails in the Harz National Park. The inn and hiking trail owe their names to the Rehberger Graben built by miners in the 17th century, which today is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Rammelsberg Ore Mine, Goslar Old Town, Upper Harz Water Management System.

In summer, the national park forest restaurant Rehberger Grabenhaus is a popular destination for hikers and mountain bikers. It can be easily reached from the Dreibrodesteine car park via a well-developed, approximately 900 m long path with little incline, even with wheelchairs, prams or for older people.

At the Rehberger Grabenhaus there is a stamp office for the Harzer hiking nobility. Not far from the inn is Goetheplatz, where the scientist and poet conducted his well-known studies on granite contact.

Rehberger Graben (water channel)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The Rehberger Graben comes directly from the Oderteich. You can start it from the Oderteich or from the Rehberger Grabenhaus. Many views to the south await you, the ditch accompanies you constantly splashing. Along the way there is a lot of information about this mining relic that is still in operation today and actually supplies water to old mines in St. Andreasberg. If you are attentive and can remember the information, then use this knowledge to acquire the Grabenhausdiplom from the innkeeper Volker Thale in the Grabenhaus.

Oderteich

Highlight • Lake

The Oderteich is a beautiful body of water in the Harz National Park. A path leads you around the pond. You can take wonderful photos from the dam. The Brocken bypass of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg leads along here. Of course, the Harz Hiking Needle also has a stamp at the Oderteich. Include the pond in a hike over the Rehberger Graben or in the direction of the Torfhaus.

Directly near the dam there is a free parking lot on the Harzhochstrasse.

Striegel House, Oderteich

Highlight • Monument

The intention to use particularly durable material for the Oderteich is best demonstrated by the harrow system. A shaft with a cross-section of about 1.10 × 1.20 meters was built into the dam at the deepest point in the valley. This shaft is lined with large hewn granite stones and reaches the natural valley floor. From the bottom of the shaft, an incoming channel 0.75 meters wide and 0.90 meters high leads into the storage space. As a result, the storage space of the pond always communicates with the water level in the shaft. From the bottom of the shaft, two wooden gullies made of oak with square cross-sections of about 25 × 25 centimeters lead to the air-side dam foot. They have an inlet from above at the bottom of the shaft, which is closed by a curry comb similar to a bathtub plug. This pin can be pulled or lowered from the harrow house above the shaft via a linkage. The oak drain is installed in such a way that it is always under water, even when the bottom outlet is closed, and therefore hardly rots. The entire bottom outlet construction is called a harrow.

Forest Inn Rinderstall (HWN 123)

Highlight • Restaurant

Anyone who passes by here has really missed something. In and around the cattle barn everything is just great. The ambience, the food, the service, the beer. What can I say? Here you just feel good all around and almost forget to stamp when your stomach is so full. :-)
