Travel story

On the road in the Harz

Harz, Germany ·

My second holiday took me to the beautiful, snow-covered Harz mountains.

Frozen reservoir between snowy, wooded slopes under a sky full of clouds
Reservoir in evening light, the surface reflecting the bright clouds
Snowy landscape with a lake in deep blue light at the blue hour
Spruce trees heavily covered in snow in the forest
Narrow stream between high, soft walls of snow
Stone bridge with two arches over a snowed-in stream, spruces behind
Tall tower almost disappearing in thick fog, a building in the snow in front
Sunny valley with snowy slopes and bare trees under a blue sky
Young spruces covered in hoarfrost under a blue sky

One day took me up the Brocken, even though it was so windy that I was almost blown away and you could hardly see anything. But the few gaps offered a tremendous view, and the steam locomotive is a showpiece of old technology.

Piece of root on the shore, thickly covered with ice and icicles
Innerste reservoir
Icy root in shallow water, hills under clouds behind
Small snowman on the snowy shore of a lake
Small boat on dark water under a breaking cloudy sky

The Harz, too, is a beautiful place that I want to return to in the future.
