Harz National Park
This national park is located in Germany's most northerly low mountain range. With its mixture of ancient myths and rugged terrain, it is a popular travel destination in Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony all year round.
Saxony-Anhalt: stunningly beautiful nature, as far as the eye can see
The landscape in Saxony-Anhalt is rich in natural beauty: a national park, three biosphere reserves, five nature parks, exciting renaturation projects and countless rivers and lakes all reveal the vast diversity of nature. Whether on foot, by bike, on horseback, or on the water – the diverse landscape of Saxony-Anhalt is always an adventure for nature lovers.
Wildlife watchers, for example, have plenty to discover in the UNESCO Central Elbe Biosphere Reserve. The Harz National Park is perfect for people who like more active holidays – here, the legendary mountain wilderness and fresh air invites you on wild discovery tours. Those who want to explore Saxony-Anhalt from the water should opt to travel the Blue Ribbon. In addition to these naturally-created landscapes, new natural spaces are also being created: renaturation projects like the one at the Goitzsche Lake are transforming former open-cast mining areas into lake landscapes, and offer space for countless activities as a local recreation area.
