Stamping point 137 / Bärenbrucher Teich

The Bärenbrucher Teich is a reservoir near Buntenbock that belongs to the Oberharz Wasserregal and whose history can be traced back to the 17th century.

Nowa­days, the Bären­bruch­er pond is oper­at­ed as an over­flow pond, which means that the inflow­ing water flows into the Ziegen­berg­er pond via the overflow.

We rec­om­mend vis­it­ing the Bären­bruch­er pond as part of a fam­i­ly-friend­ly cir­cu­lar walk on the “Wasser­Wan­der­Weg Bun­ten­bock­er Teiche” trail. The stamp box is locat­ed in the refuge at the dam. 

The start­ing and fin­ish­ing point of this enter­tain­ing cir­cu­lar trail is the large swamp pond on the out­skirts of Bun­ten­bock. Along the way are numer­ous ditch­es and hid­den water­cours­es, the Ziegen­berg­er, Bären­bruch­er, Pix­haier and Schwarzen­bach­er ponds as well as the Pix­haier Müh­le inn.
