Sonnenberger Ditch

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Along the Graben there is a beautiful trail for hiking. Only a little gradient and the gentle rippling of the water is good for the mood. 😉

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.

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.

Rehberger Grabenhaus (HWN 155)

Highlight • Restaurant

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.

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.
