Lude Stream
The Lude is an long stream of Saxony-Anhalt, in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. It is the strongest and – besides an affluent of itself – longest headwater of the Thyra and therefore hydrographically defined as its upper course. Course The Lude rises northwest of Stolberg, about one kilometre west of Breitenstein. Only about separates the southern source stream of the Katzsohlbach from the sources of the Lude and about from the source of the Wahnborn. From 1745 to 1910 the ''Rieschengraben'' ditch channelled water from the Lude and Schmale Lude into the Lower Harz Pond and Ditch System, where the water of the Lude was impounded by the reservoir . At the foot of the ''Lindischberg'' (orographic right) and ''Kießlingskopf'' (orographic left) hills the ''Klippenwasser'' empties into the upper Lude. Only {{convert, 500, m, ft downstream the ''Hellbach'' joins from the right. Just 500 metres further downstream the Lude has another, right-hand tributary. The stream ...

Harz Mountains
The Harz () is a highland area in northern Germany. It has the highest elevations for that region, and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The name ''Harz'' derives from the Middle High German word ''Hardt'' or ''Hart'' (hill forest). The name ''Hercynia'' derives from a Celtic name and could refer to other mountain forests, but has also been applied to the geology of the Harz. The Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with an elevation of above sea level. The Wurmberg () is the highest peak located entirely within the state of Lower Saxony. Geography Location and extent The Harz has a length of , stretching from the town of Seesen in the northwest to Eisleben in the east, and a width of .

Thyra (river)
The Thyra is a river of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in the Harz Mountains. Course The Thyra begins its course in the old quarter of Stolberg in the Harz Mountains at the confluence of three mountain streams - the Große Wilde, Kleine Wilde and Lude - and then flows through Stolberg, where several streams join it, before heading south through a steep valley to Rottleberode. Here the Thyra valley becomes very wide, but near Uftrungen it narrows again. South of Uftrungen the Thyra leaves the Harz and enters the Goldene Aue, crossing and Berga, before this little river enters the Helme. Influence Several things are named after the Thyra, for example the Thyra thermal baths (''Thyratherme'') in Stolberg or the railway line known as the Thyraliesel.

Lower Harz Pond And Ditch System
Within the Lower Harz region (in the counties of Harz and Mansfeld-Südharz in central Germany) are still many traces of the historical water management facilities used by the mining industry. In addition to water-carrying ditches and ponds, there are also long-abandoned ditches and dry pond beds. The Lower Harz Pond and Ditch System (german: Unterharzer Teich- und Grabensystem), which forms the major part of these old water management facilities, lies in the central Lower Harz, almost entirely within the borough of the present-day town of Harzgerode. Extent In the central Lower Harz between the villages of Neudorf, Silberhütte, Straßberg, Großem Auerberg and the upper Lude river is the only, historical, mine water management system in the Lower Harz. Sheltered by the geographical-climatic conditions of the Lower Harz, the system never reached the scale of comparable systems in the Upper Harz and the Ore Mountains. The river catchment areas affected are primarily the sour ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
