More orientation for viewpoints and towers

The list includes viewpoints and observation towers in the Harz Mountains. You can see where they are located and which regions they overlook. The overview helps you choose the right place for your visit – whether you want to take a hiking break or simply enjoy the view.  

You can reach many points on foot or via well-known hiking trails. Some towers are freely accessible, while others are a bit off the beaten track in the forest or on mountain peaks.  

It’s best to use the list when planning your tour. For observation towers, pay attention to possible opening hours or seasonal closures. Many points are particularly impressive in clear weather or at sunrise and sunset. Then you can see the Harz landscape far beyond the valleys.
