Grane Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Granetalsperre is great to cycle around. On one side it is paved and on the other side it goes mostly on good, wide forest paths with beautiful views of the dam.

The Granetalsperre is always worth a trip, the paths all around are great! There are enough views of the dam and benches to linger. Just beautiful!

Around the Granestausee leads a very nice bike path, which always offers beautiful viewpoints on the lake. He also does not have too many vertical meters and should be easy to handle, even for beginners.

July 7, 2024,Fahrradtour Auf zur Grane Talsperre nach Goslar 😎☀️

We put the bikes on the car and headed off towards Goslar. We looked for a parking space and headed off to the Grane Dam. We circled around it once and even got two HWN stamps in our booklet. We drove briefly into the old town and then headed back again. Nice bike ride 😊👍

May 13, 2022,Um die Granetalsperre oder fast menschenleer

Before we start our tour on the Innerste the next day, we use our location in Goslar around the Granetalsperre.
On Friday evening around 6 p.m. you only meet a few cyclists or hikers there. All routes were easy to drive on, asphalt and farm roads alternated. Since many trees have been felled, you now have a view of the …

In front of the car park at the dam, follow the circular route counterclockwise for 12 km to the HWN 110 stamping point. Then follow the path on the right uphill for about 1.5km and then another 500m to the Bismarkturm HWN111. There you can enjoy the beautiful view of Goslar and the surrounding area. Downhill 1.2km to the Steinbergalm, …

Today I used the morning for a bike tour. It went from Goslar around the Granetal reservoir and to the Granetal dam and back again.

Stay on the path around the reservoir. Otherwise, it will happen to you just like it happened to my brother-in-law and me. You turn off and think it will be fine. But wrong, it goes uphill and you realize that the mountain never ends. Secretly, you'll think that you just want to go to Hahnenklee and eat something. After a …
