Campsites in Harz are guaranteed to give you an unforgettable holiday. A campsite in Harz is the ideal base for campers with a love for nature, with the national park itself surrounding your campsite. Harz is home to vast beautiful forests with meandering streams, waterfalls and impressive river valleys. After a day’s hiking in the countryside, it is a delight to return to your campsite. Harz is an adventure for the whole family! The Harz is the wildest, most rugged and most untouched of the mountain ranges in northern and central Germany. This is partly a result of its geography and cold micro-climate. (The tree line in the Harz is at a mere 1100 metres, roughly half of what it is in the Alps. The Brocken – the highest peak of the Harz – is treeless even though it is only 1141 metres high). It's no surprise that the Harz is a magnet for motorcyclists from around the world! With hundreds of kilometres of virtually empty mountain roads and more twists and turns that you can imagine, it is the perfect place to ride your bike. Surrounded by forests & wildlife, the Harz is famed for its historic cities, quality wine, sweeping bends, amazing scenery and most importantly a warm welcome!. Once in the Harz you can ride your bike to Torfhaus, northern Germany's biggest bike meet and with its super views towards the "Brocken" mountain it is an absolute must.

Altenau is situated in the middle of the Harz, a region known as Oberharz and is one of the youngest of the seven Upper Harz Mountain towns and received city rights in 1617. At an altitude of 460m above sea level it is nestled in the beautiful Harz Mountains. The Brocken is about 12km east from Altenau. Today Altenau is a holiday resort with a therapeutic climate. It attracts year round tourists, who take advantage of the healthy air quality and the many wellness activities. Altenau is one of the starting points for hikes on the Harz Hexenstieg. The Harz region is a great year-round sports getaway, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling and skiing (downhill and Nordic), golf, sailing, fishing, diving.

So if you fancy a mud bath, or an underground cave spa, or just relaxing in saunas and Jacuzzi than Harz has everything you could desire. The regular influx of visitors in all seasons is testament to the appeal of the Harz. Brockenhaus mit Brockengarten
The Brocken, the highest point of the Harz, offers special facets on history, nature and mythology.

"Altenau... da wo der Pfeffer wächst!" or, in English: "Altenau... there where the pepper grows!", is the national known slogan for Altenau, the historic 'free mountain city'.
