Our tourism region Up in the Harz
Thirteen villages - one municipality - just different!
Our region - an insider tip on the edge of the main Harz hiking trails. Here you will find peace, breathe fresh mountain air and enjoy an endless expanse.
We invite you to follow the spring landscape, which, with its originality and strength, is a place for soothing moments.
Travel with us sustainably and free of charge with all public bus and tram lines to your hikes or excursion destinations.
Enjoy regional products in our gastronomy.
Do you already know the regional brand "Typisch Harz"?
In addition to the regionality, many traditional Harz events are part of our unique tourist region.
At the end of May, two traditional events are waiting for you - the Heimatfest in Sorge and the Finkenmanöver in Benneckenstein as well as a vintage, tractor and agricultural machinery meeting in Hasselfelde.
Feel free to stop by.
There are some contrasts between peace, idyll and tradition. Exciting and eventful excursion destinations and attractions invite you to be discovered.
Feel welcome in a fascinating holiday region - here UP IN THE HARZ.
