Hotels in Harz, Germany

The Harz is a mountain range in central Germany, famous for its dense forests, historic half-timbered towns like Wernigerode and Goslar, and the legendary Brocken peak. Summers are mild (around 70°F/21°C), perfect for hiking the Harz Witches' Trail or riding the narrow-gauge steam railway up to the Brocken. Winters bring snow and temperatures around 30°F/-1°C, so you can ski at Braunlage or cross-country ski on the Schierker Ziegenkopf trails-and warm up with mulled wine at the Christmas markets in Quedlinburg.
