Harz Days of Indulgence
In addition to the impressive mountain scenery, you can enjoy the finest culinary delights in the Harz Mountains!
The Harz Mountains and its foothills offer a rich treasure trove for preparing delicious and healthy food. The mountain meadows in the Harz are famous for their variety of herbs and even the monks of the monasteries in the Harz foreland appreciated the ores of the mountains as much as the flavours of the table. More and more restaurateurs in the Harz, often in co-operation with local producers, are reflecting on the culinary qualities of their region.
The HARZER GENUSS-TAGE event series enters its 14th round in 2026 and once again brings the culinary diversity of the Harz to your table. The HARZER GENUSS-TAGE will present you with a Harz speciality at different times of the year. The participating establishments focus on seasonal and regional products, high quality and healthy food and drink.

Beer is one of mankind's oldest cultural drinks and yet it is more modern than ever. But how long has beer actually been around? And who invented beer? Even though per capita consumption has continued to fall in recent years, there has never been such a diverse range on offer. Whether strong beer, light, dark or alcohol-free, there is something to suit every taste. Even small home breweries are no longer a rarity. We would like to introduce you to this variety and everything about the history of beer, the origins of beer and the first beer in the world - from the Sumerians to the art of brewing today - as part of the Harz Days of Indulgence.

Beer and bread - magical then as now:
Anyone who knows the history of beer cannot ignore bread. Both staple foods originated thousands of years ago in the Stone Age, when our ancestors processed grain with water and accidentally brewed the first original beer. Due to the identical ingredients, bread was created at the same time. The foundation stone of our culinary heritage was laid. Today I bake, tomorrow I brew and ... That's what Rumpelstiltskin once said. However, there is a good deal of truth in the beginning of the sentence, because for a long time it was customary for baking day to be followed by brewing day, as a delicious beer drink could be made from the half-baked bread dough with water and the as yet unknown effect of yeast. Today, of course, the two crafts are no longer practised hand in hand, but one thing is for sure: beer is simply part of a snack!
Programme
We would like to take you on a culinary journey through the history of beer and give you a few eventful hours. We start in our small brewery on the Kunsthandwerkerhof and show you how beer is made and explain all the production steps and the most important chemical processes. You will have the opportunity to experience raw materials such as malt, barley and hops as well as the finished beer with all your senses. At the end of the tour, you can experience the harmony between bread and beer with a Harzer Tzscherper meal and a Zellerfelder Münzbräu from our brewery. Continue to experience a special kind of beer tasting! Have we piqued your interest? Then immerse yourself with us in the history of a drink that has fascinated mankind for thousands of years.
