Access
The Helmestausee Berga-Kelbra area is best explored from the three observation towers. To do so, drive via Kelbra to the eastern shore of the Stausee. You can park there at the first observation tower. This observation tower is on the Harzvorland Cycle Path. From the first tower, the path leads west and reaches the second observation tower near the campsite. There is a car park nearby. The third observation tower, located at the westernmost point, can be reached on foot or by bicycle. To do so, use the Harzvorlandradwanderweg (Harz foreland cycle path), which leads directly past it. Zoom in on the map and click on a P in the map for directions.
