Gemeinde Nordharz
Located in the immediate vicinity of Ilsenburg, in the scenic northern Harz foothills between the Harz and Fallstein, the municipality of Nordharz offers a wide range of opportunities to spend carefree holidays. Here you have a unique, open and unobstructed view of the steeply rising Harz Mountains near Ilsenburg and the Brocken. Cycling is particularly good here.
The signposted routes along the “Green Belt” are particularly suitable for children. Along the former border, past fantastic viewpoints and the northern Harz districts with their well-preserved historic town centers, you continue on developed farm roads through the impressive landscape. From the wealth of recommended leisure activities, a visit to the Abben-rode local museum and mill hiking trail or a detour to the Ilsestrandbad should be mentioned here.
A special highlight for fishing enthusiasts is the Veckenstedt pond farm. Here you can fish for fresh fish at well-maintained fishing ponds with natural banks or simply buy delicious smoked goods.
