In the romantic half-timbered towns of the Harz, interesting stories can be told about every house. When wandering through the cobbled streets you quickly feel yourself transported back to long-forgotten eras. Breweries and schnapps distilleries demonstrate the charm of the region with their culinary specialities.

A journey through the past is also offered by the nostalgic steam trains of the Harz Narrow-Gauge Railways, with which you could already have travelled to the top of the Brocken 100 years ago. You can also discover the pioneering spirit of yesteryear by following the footsteps of the miners in the Harz, whose technological masterpieces still inspire engineers throughout the world. Evidence of a rich mining history is provided today by the dense spruce forests, the numerous ponds and ditches, the many idyllic mining towns and impressive mine installations, and the museums that tell their story in many locations.
