The monastery town of Walkenried and its surroundings

With over 150,000 overnight stays annually, Walkenried is one of the most successful tourist communities in the Harz region of the Göttingen district.
The booming domestic tourism brings numerous younger, financially strong guests to Walkenried and the entire Harz region. The fact that these target groups are being taken into consideration can be seen in the wide range of adventure offers, such as the successful "Titan" suspension bridge or the newly emerging Harz theme park with its spectacular observation tower "Hexenbesen".
