Saxony-Anhalt

Located entirely within Germany's borders, the Sachsen-Anhalt region-state has a varied georgraphy, from the lowlands of the north to the Harz Mountains in the south.  It is these mountains that hold the greatest interest and beauty in this region.

In our itinerary of the 'Highlights of the Harz Mountains' we tour the mountains, their sheltered valleys, cool blue lakes, green, forested slopes, and tumbling streams which provide attractive scenery and plenty of opportunities for summer walks and winter cross-country skiing. Little resort villages including the three medieval towns of Goslar, Wernigerode and Quedlinburgh, vie for your attention with a parade of half-timbered homes, decorative town halls, towering castles and interesting museums.
