Hiking Holidays in Germany

The Harz is not only Germany's highest low mountain range, but also one of the largest forest national parks in the Federal Republic. The spruce and beech forests, the easy to challenging climbs, the high moors, the Brocken primeval forest and the dwarf shrub heaths are just a few of the scenic highlights in the Harz Mountains.
