Grane Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Granetalsperre is great to cycle around. On one side it is paved and on the other side it goes mostly on good, wide forest paths with beautiful views of the dam.

The Granetalsperre is always worth a trip, the paths all around are great! There are enough views of the dam and benches to linger. Just beautiful!

Around the Granestausee leads a very nice bike path, which always offers beautiful viewpoints on the lake. He also does not have too many vertical meters and should be easy to handle, even for beginners.

Located directly on the way (developed road) down, you can quickly miss it - keep your eyes open and stop if necessary 😉.

Before we start our tour on the Innerste the next day, we use our location in Goslar around the Granetalsperre.
On Friday evening around 6 p.m. you only meet a few cyclists or hikers there. All routes were easy to drive on, asphalt and farm roads alternated. Since many trees have been felled, you now have a view of the …

We put the bikes on the car and headed off towards Goslar. We looked for a parking space and headed off to the Grane Dam. We circled around it once and even got two HWN stamps in our booklet. We drove briefly into the old town and then headed back again. Nice bike ride 😊👍

October 5, 2022,Wo Kaiser ihr Herz verlieren ❤️ ... 1100 Jahre Goslar

Goslar, the tranquil town on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains, is 1100 years old! In contrast to the name of the city, which can be derived credibly and means "meadow covered with trees by the bubbling brook" in the language of the etymologists, the beginnings of Goslar lie in the dark, in the area of the approximate and …

September 6, 2021,Heute fahr ich mal ins Granetal ☀️🏞

The last tour 🥺 for this trip begins and ends in Goslar. Just a little lap, I want to enjoy the sun in the afternoon without moving my legs. From Ilsenburg by train 🚆 it takes a good 20 minutes. Can't make it with the car 🚗 I drive via Wolfshagen to the Granetalstausee.
