Hiking tips with extra freewheeling:
With a dog in the Harz National Park
Discover the Harz National Park with your four-legged friend and experience unforgettable adventures in the midst of breathtaking nature. Dogs are very welcome, but we ask that you keep your faithful companion on a leash at all times.
Why? Very simple: even the strongest dog can become weak when he gets the enticing scent of a deer or lynx in his nose. The wild animals deserve our respect and protection, so we want to spare them the dangerous hunt.
In addition, the Harz National Park also poses certain dangers for your dog. The landscape is characterized by deep caves and chasms in which your four-legged friend could easily disappear. To avoid unnecessary risks and to protect your dog from possible injuries, it is therefore advisable to keep him on a leash at all times.
Enjoy the untouched nature of the Harz National Park together with your dog. Experience exciting hikes, discover picturesque dams and breathe in the fresh air.Shared adventures bring you and your dog even closer together and create unforgettable memories.
So pack the leash and get ready for unforgettable moments in the Harz National Park. Your dog will thank you, as will the wild animals.
Let's work together to ensure that the Harz National Park remains a place where humans and animals can live in harmony.
