Half-timbered idyll, romantic mountain villages, Feuerzangenbowle and winter sports fun – spending New Year’s Eve in the Harz is definitely worth it!
With or without snow, the unique atmosphere of the magical mountain world fascinates visitors to the Harz at New Year’s Eve. During the day, people explore the surroundings on foot or by skis and sleds, in the evening they enjoy the romantic mood, and at midnight they watch high above the valleys as the spirits of the old year are driven away by fireworks.
But spending time in the timber-framed towns of the Harz during New Year’s Eve is also well worth it. Many Christmas markets remain open beyond the holidays and sweeten the time until the turn of the year, for example with the traditional Feuerzangenbowle.
Celebrating New Year’s Eve in the Harz is therefore a very special experience, whether you prefer to celebrate far from the hustle and bustle in the mountains or join a New Year’s Eve party in town.
