Germany

Photos from the Harz of Germany

Last week I spent four days exploring another of Germany’s hidden gems, visiting some of the most beautiful towns I’ve ever seen.

This time, I was in the Harz region – a mostly mountainous area in the centre of Germany. Though well-known for its natural scenery and various peaks, its cultural treasures aren’t as well documented.

Even so, the area is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites:

  • St. Michael’s Church and St. Mary’s Cathedral, Hildesheim
  • The old town of Goslar and the Mines of Rammelsberg
  • Collegiate Church, Castle and Old Town of Quedlinburg
  • Martin Luther’s Birthplace and Death House, Eisleben

I will be writing a lot more on the region in the coming weeks, but for now, here’s a selection of my best shots from the trip.
