Hiking

As with all Upper Harz ponds in the Clausthal-Zellerfeld area, the dam was built as an earthwork, meaning it was filled with earth and rock. This dam fill material was extracted locally and is predominantly stony. No compaction work was carried out, or at least no accounting records are available. This also explains why, even today, after more than 300 years, the dams still settle by several millimeters per year.[3] The seal was provided on the waterside slope and consists of turf.

Hiking

The Untere Pfauenteich is a historical dam east of Clausthal-Zellerfeld. It was created in connection with the Upper Harz water shelf by Upper Harz miners in the 16th or 17th century. Today it still has a function as a flood protection pond for the town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld. Like all structures of the Upper Harz water shelf, the Untere Pfauenteich has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rammelsberg mine, Goslar old town and Upper Harz water management system since 2010.
