Harzturm
The highlight of the Harz in Torfhaus
The newly built Harz Tower opened at the beginning of November 2023. At an imposing 65 metres, its masterful architecture rises above the heights of Torfhaus, which at 812 metres is the highest village in the Harz Mountains. When you stand in front of it, you are sure to say "wow": Perfectly shaped, this tower made of wood and steel is an interpretation of a tree trunk. With its lamellar construction, the tower sculpture looks like a giant wooden screw turning towards the sky. The entrance building to the Harz Tower is a modern alpine hut made from natural building materials. In addition to admission tickets, you can also buy a nice selection of modern tower souvenirs here.
The ascent can be made by lift or stairs. Once you reach the top, you have a fantastic view of the Harz National Park and the Brocken from the two viewing platforms. If you want to feel like a bird swaying in the air, you should enter the Skywalk with a view. The glass viewing point simulates floating in the air. And for the action heroes, there is the highest slide in Germany, the "Rasantia" adventure slide with magical sound and light effects and rapid curves. It seems to embrace the tower and winds its way dynamically downwards for 110 metres. On the rapid descent, you will meet the Baumis, funny forest creatures who look after the Harz Tower and get up to some mischief.
Germany's highest observation tower invites you
Be inspired by a unique observation tower in Torfhaus. Visit this architectural work of art in the heart of Germany. Alongside the Brocken, it could have the chance to become the Harz Mountains' landmark beyond all borders. Whether you are adventurous and therefore ready to slide, chill out and enjoy the view or float on glass: the Harz Tower offers you the full range of a fulfilling experience and invites you to visit in both summer and winter.
