Clausthal-Zellerfeld

Mining history at the Upper Harz Mining Museum

The Upper Harz Mining Museum explores the mining history of Clausthal-Zellerfeld. One special way to get closer to this history is to descend into a reconstructed mine shaft. If you would like to focus on culture and local history, this experience is a concrete starting point for planning your trip.

Discover Robert Koch’s youth on a walking tour

The Robert Koch walking tour visits places that were significant during Robert Koch’s youth. Stops include his birthplace, the church where he was baptized, and his former school. The stops make the tour especially interesting if you are interested in Robert Koch and his early years. You can choose this focus if you would like to discover Clausthal-Zellerfeld through its history and the places associated with Robert Koch.

Brew beer together

At the BRAUakademie, groups of four or more can brew their own beer under the guidance of master brewers. This makes the activity different from a museum visit or a walking tour: the focus is on a hands-on group activity. The minimum group size is useful information when you are deciding which experiences fit your plans for a group trip. Brewing offers a distinct focus for anyone interested in beer and the brewing process. The master brewers guide the group throughout.

Cross-country skiing in winter, ski rollers in summer

Physical activity can also be a focus of your stay: in winter, you can go cross-country skiing in Clausthal-Zellerfeld. When there is no snow, you can use the trails with ski rollers in summer. If you like to include sporting activities in your trip, you can take this seasonal change into account when choosing when to travel, without treating the two activities as the same.

Choose the right focus for your stay

When planning a family trip, it helps to first discuss the group’s interests. Would you mainly like to explore the mining history, learn about Robert Koch’s youth through the places mentioned, brew beer together, or add some physical activity to your stay? Each offering has a different focus and provides a concrete starting point for making this decision. Choose your holiday apartment to suit the kind of stay you have in mind. That way, the first question is what you would like to experience in Clausthal-Zellerfeld.
