Huttaler Widerwaage, Water regulation structure in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany.

The Huttaler Widerwaage functions as a small reservoir with wooden weirs at 605 meters elevation, controlling water flow between different mining areas.

This water management system, constructed during the mining era, directed water resources to the Caroline and Dorothea mining operations through an intricate network of tunnels.

The reservoir exemplifies German engineering excellence as part of the Upper Harz Water Regale, now recognized within the UNESCO World Heritage designation.

Visitors access the site from parking areas along the B 242 Clausthal-Braunlage route, with information boards explaining the water management mechanisms.

The ditches of Huttaler Widerwaage operate without a gradient, enabling water flow in both directions through the connected reservoir system.
