Stamping point 110 / Granestausee

The Granetalsperre is located above the Langelsheim district of Astfeld/Herzog Juliushütte.

Built in 1969, the Grane­talsperre is the youngest of the Harz dams and was con­struct­ed in the Grane­tal val­ley. As the riv­er Grane itself did not car­ry enough water for the 3 km long lake, an approx. 7.4 km long tun­nel was built to the Oker below the Oker dam. This tun­nel also takes in water from the Gose along the way. Anoth­er 4.8 km long tun­nel leads from the Radau to the Große Romke and thus also into the Oker-Grane tun­nel. There is also an under­ground con­nec­tion to the Inner­ste dam. 

The stamp­ing point is locat­ed on the east side of the reser­voir and is the short­est way to reach it from the “Unter den Eichen” park­ing lot above the Stein­berg dis­trict of Goslar.

The tour can be won­der­ful­ly com­bined with the HWN 111 Stein­bergturm and then stop off at the Steinbergalm.

The Granes­tausee lake was vot­ed the most beau­ti­ful stamp site of 2011 by our hik­ing friends.
