| The Harz is the highest mountain range in Northern Germany and its rugged terrain extends across parts of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The legendary Brocken is the highest summit in the Harz with a height of 1,141.1 metres (3,744 ft) above sea level. A steam train runs up to the top of the Brocken and the Hexenplatz (the Witches Dance place as described in Goethe's "Faust"). But the Harz is also known for its historic and very unique towns (some of which are Unesco sights), such as Wernigerode , Goslar and Quedlinburg. |
