The Aschenhütter pond (also known as the Schwarzer Pfuhl ) is located in the Göttingen district about 3.5 km northwest of Herzberg am Harz , about 1.2 km northeast of Hörden and about 250 m west of the small settlement of Aschenhütte . It is a lake that was created naturally by a sinkhole in the Holocene .
description
The oval-shaped pond is around 120 m long, 50 m wide and is located on the Karst hiking trail . It has no above-ground inlet or outlet. 150 m south of the pond is the 244 m high local mountain with the former limestone castle . On the basis of palynological and geochemical investigations of the sediments of the pond (pollen analysis and evidence of heavy metals ), the settlement history of this area over the last millennia could be reconstructed.
