General presentation
Goslar
Imperial city of Harz, between half-timbers, UNESCO mines, palaces, alleys and nearby mountains.
Old town of Goslar, Rammelsberg and Kaiserpfalz Goslar give the most telling landmarks of Goslar. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, mountain reliefs and forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: Paves and meteo du Harz. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Bad Harzburg
Bad Harzburg stretches at the foot of the Harz, between cure villas, forest trails and access to the heights by the Burgberg. The city is particularly interesting for travellers who want to move from the heritage of Goslar to wooded landscapes, with easy walks and steeper routes nearby.
Nature
Rammelsberg
The Rammelsberg site is observed as a layer of mining history anchored in a powerful relief. Following the paths, one reads the logic of the site through its accesses and technical volumes, and then one better understands the traces of a still palpable work landscape.
Town or village
Kaiserpfalz Goslar
Kaiserpfalz oscillates between monumentality and proximity: it is a building that is discovered as much by its external volumes as by the details of the visible daily life on the ground floor. Slowly move between its courses and its accesses to see how the political past feeds a living space.
Town or village
Marktplatz Goslar
The Marktplatz in Goslar concentrates the city hall, the gable facades and the eagle fountain in a very tight setting. The ancient wealth of the mining town is quickly captured: the carved details, arcades and signs attract the eye to the height of walking.
