The overview shows a variety of historical and scenic sites throughout the Harz region. It’s aimed at everyone who values peace, nature, and culture – from day visitors to hiking enthusiasts.
Use the information about location and special features to plan your visit well. Many parks are open all year round and worth visiting at different times of the year: in spring for the blossom, in summer for shade and tranquillity, and in autumn for colours and light.
For larger sites, pay attention to walking times and entrances, as some areas belong to castles or monasteries and may be subject to fixed opening hours.
