The Harz Mountains are perfect for Nordic walking. Well-marked trails, fresh mountain air and diverse landscapes turn every tour into a natural workout.
In towns like Altenau, Bad Harzburg, Braunlage and Thale, you’ll find Nordic walking centres with marked routes, courses and rental poles. Highly recommended is the World Forest Harz near Bad Grund, where guided tours and individual routes lead through forests, ponds and ridges.
In total, the Harz region offers more than 8,500 kilometres of hiking and walking trails – suitable for beginners as well as for advanced walkers who want to combine nature and exercise. You can find more information at the tourist offices in the towns mentioned.
