Wernigerode. Lots to experience in the Harz Mountains.

Hiking, cycling & mountain biking, family adventures, winter sports, ...

The Harz mountains are synonymous with myths, legends, stories and fairy tales. In the Harz you can experience nature, hikes through the national park up to the Brocken. The Harz narrow-gauge railway takes you through the Harz. The Harz is a low mountain range almost in the centre of Germany.

And Wernigerode is right in the centre of the action. Here, life in the Harz pulsates in one town. Wernigerode welcomes its guests for a stroll through the old town with its historic half-timbered houses. Events in the princely stables or in the alleyways of the town attract visitors time and again. A variety of cafés and restaurants are a great place to relax after a visit to the castle or a tour of the aviation museum.

There is so much to experience in our town. A warm welcome.

Holiday experiences in Wernigerode & Schierke

Whether indoors or outdoors - there are many things for families to discover. The Bürgerpark with its numerous playgrounds, the "Kleiner Harz" miniature park, the aviation museum, a city rally through the historic centre of Wernigerode or a hike with a ranger through the unspoilt national park are just a small selection of family activities.
