Harztraveler

Painted Harz landscape: the Brocken with its transmitter tower and the Brocken railway at the back, Wernigerode with its castle on the left, the Vienenburg tower by the lake in the middle, Bad Harzburg with the Burgberg cable car on the right. In front a rock with Fussel the lynx kitten, the valley railway and a lynx enclosure; Baron Bibber haunts the castle, Frieda the Brocken witch and Lotte the little witch take turns flying on their brooms.

Bad Harzburg · Wernigerode · Vienenburg

Holiday apartments in the Harz

With a sauna, a fireplace or a garden, for 1 to 13 guests. Enquire directly with Harztraveler, no booking platform in between.

Where to?

Three towns on the northern edge of the Harz mountains. From each of them you are quickly in the forest, by the water or on your way up the Brocken.

Bad Harzburg

A brine spa town on the northern edge of the Harz. The cable car starts by the spa park, and behind it the national park begins, with trails up to the Brocken.

Wernigerode

The colourful town in the Harz, with a half-timbered old town and a castle. Steam trains of the Harz narrow-gauge railways leave from the main station, all the way up the Brocken.

Vienenburg (Goslar)

A district of Goslar in the Harz foothills, where the Radau flows into the Oker. The Vienenburger See lake is right by the town, and Goslar’s old town is about 11 km away.
