Whether it’s wellness, hiking or unique experiences in the great outdoors – Bad Harzburg has something for everyone, from those seeking relaxation to active holidaymakers.
Wellness and Health
At the Bad Harzburg Sole-Therme, you can relax in indoor and outdoor pools filled with healing natural brine drawn from a depth of 840 metres. The varied sauna area, featuring a steam bath and snow sauna, as well as massages – ranging from hot stone to singing bowl treatments – ensure you’ll feel completely refreshed. In the historic promenade hall in the Badepark, you can drink healing water from the Bad Harzburg springs.
Experience nature
The Harz Tree-Top Walk stretches for around 1,000 metres and rises up to 26 metres high through the treetops of the Kalten Tal valley. At numerous interactive stations, you’ll learn interesting facts about the local flora and fauna. You can then glide down the Burgberg through the forest in a harness on the BaumSchwebeBahn, enjoying impressive views all the way to the Brocken.
Burgberg and hiking region
The historic cable car has been taking visitors up to Burgberg in just three minutes since 1929. There, you’ll find the Krodo statue, the ruins of Harzburg Castle and sweeping views across the Harz foothills. More than 100 kilometres of hiking trails lead into the Harz National Park – to the lynx enclosure at Rabenklippe, to the Marienteichbaude with its wildcat enclosure, around the Ecker reservoir, or via the Teufelsstieg up to the Brocken.
Town, Leisure and Family
In the spa gardens, the lynx fountain, Kneipp basins, graduation pavilion and multi-generational playground invite you to linger. You can explore the town along the Bummelallee, lined with Harz villas, boutiques, cafés and restaurants. Get active on the 18-hole golf course, at the Silberbornbad or at Krodoland, which features a golf and soccer park, adventure golf and an adventure cinema.
Event highlights include the horse racing week, as well as music festivals, the wine festival, the street food festival, open-air concerts, the mountain marathon and the Salt and Lights Festival. In winter, the Wintertreff and the open-air ice rink create a special atmosphere.
