- Description
-
The Sperberhaier Damm aqueduct is the mightiest structure of the Upper Harz Water Management System and the core of the dam ditch system named after it. The 940 m long and 16 m high aqueduct directs the water over a depression at the sparrow shark to the Clausthal plateau. With all the foothills that reach up to the Brockenfeld, the Dammgraben system has a length of almost 50 km. From its "cradle" below Torfhaus to the Oberen Hausherzberger Teich pond near Clausthal-Zellerfeld, the 20 km long ditch only loses 60 m in height.
- Directions
-
The Sperberhaier Dammhaus restaurant is located in the former grave keeper's house. From the crest of the dam there is a wonderful view of the wide Harz landscape. The section of the ditch that is 330 m long was reconstructed in 1992. From there, the path follows the water-carrying Dammgraben and the disused Alter Dammgraben to the former Polsterberger Hubhaus, which is now a restaurant.
