Nature information boards along the way describe the flora and fauna around the reservoir.

Two viewpoints with resting benches invite you to linger.

The stamp box No. 53 of the Harzer Wandernadel is located about 20 m in front of the dam.

A seating area is available directly at the dam for an extensive rest.

With renewed energy we go over the dam - about 400 m through the forest and then turn left to the weather shelter.

Here we go straight ahead and follow the bee nature trail with information boards to the Anglerbuch with a bench from where you have one last view of the reservoir.

Along the Hassel wet meadows we then return to Hagenmühle.
