Clausthal-Zellerfeld

The Harz Mountains define the setting of Clausthal-Zellerfeld — wooded uplands, former mining ground and a historic system of ponds and channels have shaped both its layout and identity. The Upper Harz Water Management System, created to serve the region’s silver mining, forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage property that also includes Goslar and the Rammelsberg mines. Clausthal and Zellerfeld were united in 1924, while Clausthal University of Technology continues a local educational tradition that began with an 18th-century mining school. Forest paths and waterside routes lead beyond the built-up districts into the Harz. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Harz region.
