Moosl’s tip
“Did you know that there is a diving tower and a large lawn for playing and romping about in the Waldseebad?”

Surrounded by forests, the Waldseebad Hasselfelde invites you to enjoy the summer. The lake is filled with Harz spring water and offers natural bathing fun. Large lawns around the lake offer space for sunbathing and playing.

Pullman City Harz is a living western town in the heart of the Harz. The adventure park offers children as well as adults a journey through the time of the “Wild West” with pure adventure – feel like a real Indian or cowboy for once.
►Harzköhlerei Stemberghaus
Dark coals, flickering fires and steaming charcoal kilns – the Harzköhlerei is one of the last charcoal plants that produces up to 50 tons of charcoal annually in a traditional way. Visit the museum, the shop or the cozy and rustic hut with many events.
