Perhaps many mysterious stories also happened around today's ruins of Grillenburg. The Steiger Loop provides insights into the history of copper mining over 800 years old, which shaped people, landscape, and life in the Harz foreland region. The path leads you further – through intact, vast forests and to the idyllic "Kunstteich" pond, which invites you to swim and rest.
