HARZ MOUNTAINS – A MAGICAL, MOUNTAINOUS LANDSCAPE IN THE HEART OF GERMANY

Hiking through unspoilt forests and deep valleys, climbing on jagged rock formations, mountain biking on 70 signposted routes in all difficulty levels or walking on of the world’s longest hanging bridges — regardless of the time of year, the Harz Mountains are home to a wealth of experiences. For a complete visit to this spectacular region, nothing beats an exploratory tour steeped in local culture and history. Think picturesque, historic half-timbered towns, countless relics from the mining era and spiritual places. ‘Of outstanding universal value’ was the conclusion drawn by the UNESCO committee as they selected three sites within the Harz Mountains.
