Water has shaped the Harz Mountains for centuries — it forms landscapes, tells stories and gives life. With our new accompanying booklet “Harz reservoirs”, we invite you to discover this fascinating side of the low mountain range in a very special way.
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Harz Hiking Needle, this booklet takes you to impressive buildings and idyllic ponds nestled in a unique natural setting. Every step along the paths around the reservoirs opens up new views — of glistening water, dense forests and the tranquil power of a landscape that has always been characterized by the interplay between man and nature.
Get on your way. The water is waiting.
Your Harzer Wandernadel team in coöperation with Talsperrenbetrieb Sachsen-Anhalt (AÖR) and Harzwasserwerke GmbH Hildesheim
