The Harz Mountains - rugged mountains, protected animals and plants - a natural paradise. Did you know that already 30 years ago large parts of the Harz were protected as a national park? So today, with a little luck, we can see black storks, wild cats or lynxes in the wild. Especially the reintroduction of the lynx is a great success story.
