Hiking in the Harz Mountains – Our 7 most beautiful tours
This family's experience:

Activities: We went hiking in the Harz National Park. The area is known as a family-friendly outdoor paradise. We explored many hiking trails. Some trails require surefootedness and a head for heights. There are steep ascents in hairpin bends on narrow, exposed mountain paths

Highlights: We enjoyed the beautiful nature and the variety of trails. "On some paths, surefootedness and a head for heights are required." The children enjoyed collecting stamps at the 222 stations to become Harzer Wanderprinz or -prinzessin ✨
