Polsterberg Pumphouse

The Polsterberg Pumphouse, located in the scenic Upper Harz region of central Germany, is a historic pumping station that dates back to the 18th century. Originally built to supply water for the mining industry, it played a crucial role in transporting water from the Dyke Ditch to the Hirschler Pond, essential for powering silver mines in the area. Today, the Pumphouse operates as a charming forest restaurant, attracting visitors and hikers from nearby towns like Altenau and Clausthal-Zellerfeld. The site features original wooden structures alongside modern electric pumps, offering a glimpse into its rich industrial heritage while providing a delightful dining experience amidst nature.
