Altenau
holiday where the peppers grow
The former free mountain town of Altenau and the district of Torfhaus lies at an altitude of 420-928 meters in the Upper Harz.
The Crystal Therme Heisser Brocken in the health resort Altenau is another highlight. Relax in the various indoor and outdoor heated pools. The sauna area reflects the theme of "herbs and spices". Especially created infusions of herbs from the herbal park promise a very special experience.
Hikers will enjoy the beautiful landscape around Altenau, for example, on an extended tour of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg, or the Goethe Way through the unspoilt nature leading to the Brocken summit.
For mountain bikers, the vast network of trails belonging to the Volksbank Arena Harz await you, while Nordic walkers will find three routes of varying levels of difficulty at the "DSV Nordic Active Walking Zentrum”.
In winter, the high-altitude district of Torfhaus at 800 meters has much to offer. You will find several cross-country ski-trails and winter hiking trails through the snowy landscape. With excellent Ski Facilities and well groomed slopes for skiers and snowboarders, plus a very useful Sledge Lift, every winter sports fan will have plenty of fun.
