The Katzsohlteich is an artificially impounded reservoir that lies southwest of the town of Güntersberge in the Harz Mountains of central Germany and is used as a preflooder ( Vorfluter ) and fishpond . Only a few metres from the pond is the considerably larger lake of Bergsee , past the southern shores of which runs the Selke Valley Railway .
1-733: The Katzsohlbach stream flows through the pond immediately before it empties at the Bergsee into the Selke . The old Marble Mill ( Marmormühle ) which used to be driven by water from the pond, no longer exists. It processed marble from a quarry lying some way above the Katzsohlteich. The Katzsohlteich is checkpoint 172 in the Harzer Wandernadel system. 51°38′12″N 10°58′05.3″E / 51.63667°N 10.968139°E / 51.63667; 10.968139 This Harz district location article
