TheHarz
is a small highlands about 200 km West of Leipzig in the federal country
Sachsen-Anhalt. It is really a lovely region to go in a hike. The highest
point and a popular as well as legendary place is the "Brocken" with a
height of 1142 m. The legend tells, that in the "Walpurgis night" (the
night before May 1st) many witches on their brooms ride to the Brocken
and people come there in high spirits from everywhere to have fun on this
mysterious place that night. A narrow gauge train takes you to the
hilltop, if you like :-)
