Naturpark Südharz

Dense forests and bizarre rock formations await visitors to the Südharz Nature Park. Several viewpoints rise up from the gypsum karst landscape here, including the Poppenberg tower with a view of the Kyffhäuser mountains. The Kelle karst cave near Ellrich invites you to explore. For animal lovers, the mountain village of Sophienhof offers goats, woolly pigs and Harz cattle on picturesque Alpine meadows. Trips on the Harz narrow-gauge railway are also popular.
