Holiday homes in Harz

Holiday homes in the Harz

The Harz region is located in central Germany and the region is particularly well known for its eponymous national park (Nationalpark Harz). The park has great opportunities for walking and cycling and enjoying its natural beauty. If you’re in luck, you may even spot a rare black stork or a lynx. A holiday home in the Harz is the ideal spot for exploring this beautiful area, both in the summer and the winter. From November to February, the conditions are often great for skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing, in other words, ideal for winter sports! If you book your holiday home in the Harz through Micazu, you’ll be in direct contact with the owner. You know exactly where you stand, and you never pay over the odds.

Discover for yourself what the Harz has to offer

The Harz is home to several spa towns where you can completely unwind. There’s Blankenburg, for example, which owes its name to the invigorating sulphur fumes of the ‘devil’s baths’. From your holiday home in the Harz, there is plenty more to see and do. Stroll around the small town of Braunlage or admire the many timber-fronted buildings dotted around the region. Or take a ride on the Harzquerbahn, a steam train on a narrow-gauge track that extends for 60 kilometres along a route surrounded by nature. Also highly recommended are the Rübeland caves with their impressive stalactite formations and the splendid monastery of Dingelstedt. Burg Westerburg in Huy is also worth visiting – it’s the oldest remaining moated castle in Germany.
