Events in the Upper Harz

Experience excitement and tradition in the Upper Harz all year round

The Upper Harz offers not only smaller events, but also a series of annual events that attract countless visitors every year. Probably the best-known event in the Harz Mountains is Walpurgis Night from 30 April to 1 May. This is the night when, according to Celtic and Germanic customs, witches from all over flew to the Brocken, also known as Blocksberg. They did this to mate with the devil. They danced wildly around the witches' fire on their brooms and celebrated with Lucifer.

You can still encounter so many witches and devils in the Harz Mountains at this time of year! The custom is traditionally celebrated in a great atmosphere with numerous parades and parties.
