Exploring the Harz Mountains
The Harz National Park overlaps the boarder between the states of Lower Saxony and Saxony Anhalt in northern Germany and was declared a protected area in 1994. With a number of cable cars and marked routes, the region is fantastic for hiking and cross country skiing. Some of the park's highlights include Germany's largest wooden church, a 'unicorn' cave and more than 20 mines, which are open to the public.
