Upper Harz Water Regale - The largest structure is the Dammgraben. Over a length of 25 km, it channels water from the high-precipitation areas around Torfhaus to the mining districts of Clausthal. In doing so, it crosses the Sösetal valley with the Sperberhaier Dam aqueduct, which is 16 meters high and 940 meters long. 500 miners built it between 1731 and 1734.
