Inner German border marker on the Eckertal Reservoir dam

Highlight • Monument

Boundary stone on the dam as a reminder between East and West. Here the inner-German border not only ran through the middle of the reservoir, but also directly over the dam wall.

Dam wall of the Eckertalsperre (HWN 001)

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful place steeped in history! A small information board on the well-kept white dam house gives interesting information.
On the Saxony-Anhalt side, various rocky outcrops and stones invite you to take a break with a very nice view of the lake and the wall.

View of the Ecker Dam

A beautiful view of the dam, which we will cross a little later, framed by trees. A worthwhile hiking trail of around 10 km leads around the lake.

Radau waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Always a beautiful sight in summer as well as in winter when there is frost. The Radau Waterfall is an experience in particular for children. A small hiking trail also leads up to the waterfall!

It was a distance hike. The bus from Bad Harzburg drove to the Radau waterfall. But you could also start a round trip from Bad Harzburg, then it would be about 3 km more.
