About
Upper Harz Water Regal National Monument (Harzwasserwerke GmbH), Nikolaistraße 8, Hildesheim ((distance: approx. 15-30 km)), ☎ +49 5121 4040 (hww@harzwasserwerke.de, fax: +49 5121 404220), [28]. The Upper Harz Water Regal is both an industrial monument and a beauty of nature. (A “regal” was a royal prerogative, in this case permitting the exploitation of water resources.) In part over 300 years old, the waterways include 70 lakes, long water courses, galleries and mechanical constructions which served the miners as a source of energy. Today hiking paths, educational trails and museums trace evidences of mining in the Harz.
