Harz region

Life in the primeval forest around the Brocken fades and rises again. Moss mats and tangles of dead wood, on the trunks like little plant candles, the new primeval forest trees - young growth on dead wood, carcass regeneration - can also be seen from the path in some places.

The Brocken primeval forest - a living world with its own dramaturgy, just a few kilometres above Schierke.

To have been to the Brocken once in a lifetime is a dream for many people. "With the puffing Brocken railway, that would be it" - we hear this sentence from guests again and again.

The steam locomotives run daily through the Harz Mountains according to a timetable. They call at over 40 railway stations and stops in the Harz Mountains and on the Brocken.

Anyone strolling through the streets of Wernigerode for the first time will quickly realise: "It's beautiful here!" Lovingly restored half-timbered buildings, exciting details on the Wernigerode town hall on the market square, an (almost) real fairytale castle, forest, nature and nice people.

A "colourful town in the Harz Mountains", as Herman Löns said many decades ago.

Quedlinburg, a UNESCO World Heritage town, delights visitors with its historic old town, picturesque half-timbered houses, majestic castle and collegiate church.

Medieval flair and a rich history invite you to this unique town in the Harz foreland.

The stalactite caves in Rübeland in the Harz Mountains are a fascinating natural wonder.

Explore the impressive stalagmites and stalactites of the Baumannshöhle and Hermannshöhle caves and immerse yourself in the mysterious underworld of these unique cave systems.
An unforgettable adventure for all visitors.
