One of the most beautiful excursion destinations for families in Nordhausen is the Petersberg Garden with its spectacular view of the town.
It was laid out for the Landesgartenschau (Regional Garden Show) in 2004 and is centrally located, offering many different recreational activities. During a walk, parents and children can marvel at the seasonally changing plants and try out the various play areas. Climbing rocks, an adventure playground or a skate park are ideal areas to indulge in play. Families can visit the Petriturm on the Petersbergplatz. The tower, which can be seen from far away and is a listed building, offers a view of the whole of the surrounding area and the Harz mountains.
