The Harz is a German mountain range that is one of the most popular holiday regions in Germany. Many people associate a holiday in the Harz with extensive hiking tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Harz Mountains are geographically divided into Lower, High- and Upper Harz. It stretches across the federal states of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In common parlance, the terms West Harz and East Harz are still used today. This refers to the time before German reunification, when the Harz was still separated by the inner-German border. The Harz region of Saxony-Anhalt is colloquially known as the “Eastern Harz”. The holidaymakers who have discovered the Harz for themselves are relatively indifferent to this division. They are on the road in the Harz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Harz Mountains are one of the most popular holiday regions in Germany due to their charming mountain landscape. The Brocken, in the Harz National Park, is one of the most popular destinations. The valleys with their watercourses and reservoirs are also attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impressive suspension bridge in the Harz Mountains at the Rappbode Dam has become one of the tourist highlights in recent years. Rightly so, I think, because a visit there is really impressive.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Suspension bridge in the Harz →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> The Harz Mountains are really excellent for a weekend getaway. Wernigerode is located in Saxony-Anhalt in the district of Harz directly on the northern flank of the low mountain range.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Wernigerode →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> I love the TV pictures of the Brocken, when you see the storm sweeping over the mountain top and people trying to move forward. For that reason alone, it was clear to me relatively quickly that if I'm in the Harz, I have to go to the Brocken.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Brocken in the Harz Mountains →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>
