Discover Herzberg and surroundings

The town, which developed from a settlement at the foot of the Schlossberg, has in some streets of the old town centre of stately town houses and former manor houses.
The harmonic half-timbered facades demonstrate the desire to represent the wealth of the bourgeoisie and their ideas of aesthetic architecture in those times.

In the centre of the town, there is the -natural pool Juessee-, suitable for the whole family, there one can swim, dive, fish and row. A visit to the leisure park 'Große Wiesen' in Sieber, should definitely be part of the programme. Nature lovers will be fascinated for sure by the Rhume-spring in Pöhlde or the Unicorn-cave. Best known, even beyond the district is probably the
Herzberg Welfen Palace
