The Harz: Goslar to Quedlinburg – Route Guide
Last updated:
Germany's fairy-tale mountains in miniature: a steam train to the witch-haunted Brocken, a thousand-year-old imperial palace at Goslar, and Quedlinburg, over 1,300 half-timbered houses, the best-preserved medieval town north of the Alps. Goethe walked these woods and put the Brocken in Faust; the steam and the mist still oblige.
The Harz: Goslar to Quedlinburg is a 95 km one-way journey (self-drive). It works best as 2–4 days; the plan below is the 3-day version for June, built from 134 verified places, with real road-routed transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
