Lower Grumbach Pond, dam in Germany, Closest city: Clausthal-Zellerfeld
Lower Grumbach Pond is a reservoir near Goslar built to store water for the region and surrounded by trees and fields. The water reflects the sky and changes with the seasons, while gentle walking paths run around the basin.
The pond was built before 1673 and was part of the historic water management system of the Upper Harz mining region. The dam was raised over time to store more water for mining operations and forestry.
The pond takes its name from the surrounding Grumbach stream and remains a place where locals connect with the mountain landscape. Visitors and residents often associate it with memories of childhood visits and peaceful moments in nature.
The pond is easily reached by car or bicycle and has parking nearby. Well-maintained trails lead directly to the water and allow for relaxed walks suitable for families and individual visitors.
The pond was historically connected to a water power system for mining and helped move logs downstream to local mills. Today it serves as a checkpoint in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking trail network for walkers.
