Innerste River

This river captures the essence of soft flowing water that seems to sweeten up the stone and sparkle the air with its cool summer spray. Many a day have weary wanderers come to the banks of the river to retreat or take a small respite from the toiling of work, washing away their sweat and soothing their swollen limbs. Let your overworked mind melt into the sound of subtle earth forever carrying the loose and unwanted things off into the endless distance downstream. The Innerste is a river in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a right tributary of the Leine river and 95 km in length. The river's source is in the Harz mountains, 4 km from the town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld to the Southwest. The place is at an elevation of 615 m, it is called Innerstesprung in German. As a small brook, the Innerste flows to the West and passes a system of lakes the first of which is called Entensumpf. Having passed Wildemann (390 m), one of the smallest towns in Germany, the Innerste turns to the North to Lautenthal (300 m), another town on its course and flows parallel to an abandoned railway track.
