Sperberhai Dyke, Historic aqueduct in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany
The Sperberhai Dyke extends for 1000 meters with a height of 15 meters, featuring water channels along its crest to transport water across a depression.
The construction of this engineering structure took place between 1732 and 1734 to supply water power for the operational needs of the Clausthal mines.
The Sperberhai Dyke forms part of the Upper Harz Water Regale, a UNESCO World Heritage site that demonstrates historical water management techniques in mining regions.
Modern visitors can explore the interconnected system of reservoirs, ditches, and tunnels that compose the water management network throughout the Upper Harz region.
The structure varies in width from 6 to 40 meters and manages the transportation of water through both open channels and underground passages across the mountainous terrain.
