The Gate of Love, the Schalker Tower and the Upper Harz Water Management await you!

Passing the "Gate of Love" you reach the Auerhahn and from there continue to the Schalker Tower. Here is stamp point no. 125 of the Harz Hiking Badge. From the upper platform of the tower there is an impressive view. Via the Upper Schalker Ditch – a historic hillside ditch of the Upper Harz water management, which carried the mine water from the south slope of the Schalke over a length of 8980 meters into the pits of Hahnenklee – you reach the Großer Kellerhalsteich.
