The Sorge Border Museum (German: Grenzmuseum Sorge, 511 m above sea level (NN)) is an open-air museum that is open to the public and free of charge near Sorge in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. It is located immediately by the former Inner German Border, southeast of Braunlage and aims to recall the division of Germany into East and West Germany. In the border museum, elements of the original East German border may be seen, including a section of border fence, the dog runs, parts of the signal fence and the patrol road made of concrete slabs, a watchtower (a so-called B Tower) and an East German border post. Immediately on the state border between Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony is the "Ring of Commemoration" (Ring der Erinnerungen), which was created by the environmental and landscape artist, Herman Prigann, in the 1990s. Made of dead wood, the artist has created a large ring based on the concept of a witches' circle. Many birds roost in the dead hedge so formed. The museum is run by the society of the same name (Grenzmuseum Sorge) and, since 2006, has been checkpoint no. 46 in the system of checkpoints of the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network.

The Allerbach is a tributary of the Warme Bode in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. It is just under 5 kilometres (3 mi) long. The source region of the "Little Allerbach" (Kleiner Allerbach) is in a boggy wood at a height of 560 m above sea level (NN) and lies about 100 metres (330 ft) north of the level crossing on the K 1353 county road (Kreisstraße) (Sorge – Elend section) with the railway line of the Trans-Harz Railway. The source region of the "Big Allerbach" (Großer Allerbach) is on the southwest hillside of the Rauher Jakob (560 m above NN); it lies at a height of 540 m above sea level (NN). The stream flows downhill in an easterly direction. Regarding its confluence immediately next to the L 98 Landesstraße (Tanne – Königshütte section), the Allerbach forms the historic boundary of the Amt of Elbingerode. Even today there are numerous boundary stones left and right of the stream banks.

The Mandelholz Dam (German: Mandelholztalsperre) holds back the Kalte Bode Flood Control Basin (Hochwasserschutzbecken Kalte Bode) which is a flood protection reservoir located between the villages of Elend and Königshütte near Wernigerode in the Harz mountains of Germany. It impounds the waters of the Kalte Bode when water levels are high. The dam was built from 1952 to 1957 and consists of an earth-fill dam with integrated concrete inspection walkway. In order to protect the crest from overspill, a spillway has been constructed south of it to handle excess water. The last time the dam was overspilled due to high water was in 1994. The height of the dam is variously given as 26 m (probably height above valley floor) or 28.4 m (probably structural height). Near Mandelholz on the Wormke (to the rear of the Mandelholz Dam) are the ruins of an older dam that supplied the Mandelholz Iron Works with water from 1612. Catastrophic flooding in 1855 destroyed the dam and it was not rebuilt. The name Mandelholz as a place name may be derived from the spruce forests in the area, because spruce trees used to be called Mandel in German.

The Ackertklippe is a rock formation in Königshütte in the district of Harz in the Harz mountains of Germany. It is composed mainly of granite. A nearby road is named after the crag. The crag can be climbed by a footpath. A refuge hut was built on the summit at the beginning of the 20th century. From the crag there is a comprehensive view of the village, the river Bode and the surrounding Harz mountains as far as the Wurmberg and the Brocken. The Ackertklippe rock formation also lends its name to the pub and boarding house Am Felsen, which is located below the crag on the Bode. The Ackertklippe hosts regular events such as Easter Fire (Osterfeuer) and Walpurgis Night.
