This was an absolutely excellent holiday which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Harz area of Germany was fascinating for the historical interest, architecture and countryside. The walking was wonderful and in particular the walk descriptions around C-Z and on the Sorge Braunlage walk were excellent. All the hotels were very good and very different from each other which added to the interest. It would be fair to say that it exceeded all our expectations.
An excellent walk. Long distances, but if reasonably fit (and no need to be a mountaineer) easily manageable. We were only victims of a thunderstorm once - although once was enough. An interesting area, especially from cold war history, with plenty of forest walks and things to see every day.
A really "good" holiday, very stimulating and varied, if more eventful than we are used to with Inntravel, what with 40 degree temperatures, a failed taxi transfer and visibility on the Brocken down to 100 metres on the day we were supposed to climb it. We never made it up the Goethe path to the top on Day 3, but rescheduled ourselves and went up and down by the Schmalspurbahn on Day 5. We were glad to have scheduled four extra days. It allowed us to recover from our experience with the melting catenaries and bending rails that meant we got no further than Hannover the day we travelled out. We were able to do the Schloss Wernigerode walk and the Schloss Wernigerode visit on different days. And we got to see Quedlinburg.Navigation proved harder than on our previous ten Inntravel holidays, due in part to the forested nature of much of the walking. A functioning compass would have been a great boon. Ours played up. We had enough German to be able to follow the still untranslated descriptions in the Grenzmuseum and the largely untranslated material on offer at Schloss Wernigerode. These are definitely highlights and the trip would have been poorer without having some of the language. In Wernigerode our best meal was in the garden of the Creperie at 38 Burgstrasse, listed on the internet as Creperie Lorette, but we believe the name has been recently changed. Mandelholz proved an exceptionally nice place to stay.
