Hausherzberger Pond (Bathing Lake)

Here you can jump into the water for free during your tour. By the way, bathing is permitted in almost all of the 60 ponds around Clausthal-Zellerfeld, unless it is expressly forbidden by signs.

Rest Area on the Clausthal-Zellerfeld Rail Trail

Highlight • Rest Area

This is a rest area on the beautiful natural bike path on the old railway line, where there are two benches. So where, even if you are doing your bike tour with several people, everyone can rest on the benches and take their break together with sufficient seating.
