Hassel (river)
River in Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hassel is a river of Saxony-Anhalt, in the East Harz Mountains in Germany. It flows through several municipalities including Stiege and the town of Hasselfelde, located 4 km northwest. Its source is located 4 km south of Stiege.[1] After about 10 kilometres (6 mi)[citation needed] it flows into the Hassel Auxiliary Dam and later into the Rappbode Reservoir,[2] following passage through a pre-dam to prevent the drying out of river valleys, reduce debris, and decrease turbidity.[3]
